New York Knicks

New York waived guard John Konchar and center N'Faly Dante following the first day of training camp, without explaining either move.

Cason Wallace could command roughly $100M over four years as OKC's next extension priority, following the trades of Luguentz Dort, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins. Karl-Anthony Towns remains eligible for a four-year, $276M extension with the Knicks, but reporting suggests no deal gets done before this season.

Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns both say extension talks with the Knicks have stalled, with little chance of a deal before the season starts.

On The Athletic's Celtics Daily podcast, James Edwards III floated Karl-Anthony Towns as a speculative fit for Boston should his extension talks with New York stall, comparing the potential role to Al Horford's past stint with the Celtics.

New York officially signed Kevin McCullar Jr. and Tyler Nickel to two-way contracts on Sunday.

N'Faly Dante signed an Exhibit 10 deal with New York after tearing his ACL last season while with Atlanta and being waived in February. The Knicks also confirmed Jaden Akins signed and was waived under an Exhibit 10 arrangement, leaving all three of the team's two-way slots open.

New York signed guard Jaden Akins to an Exhibit 10 contract and then waived him, setting up a likely path to the Westchester G League affiliate if he clears waivers.

Miles McBride told New York Daily News reporter Kristian Winfield he's "a little disappointed" with how extension talks with New York have gone. He enters the final year of his $13 million deal, set to earn just under $4M in 2026/27, and remains extension-eligible through June 2027.

Dwight Powell's re-signing left Dallas at the roster limit of 15 standard contracts, and NBA insider Marc Stein reported the Mavericks have not ruled out clearing a spot to keep him.

SNY's Ian Begley expects rookie Tyler Nickel and third-year wing Kevin McCullar Jr. to land roster spots before training camp, pushing New York to 20 players under contract. Neither move has been announced.
