Knicks Bringing 5 Free Agents To Camp On Deals
At least no one can accuse the New York Knicks of resting on their laurels. Even though most of the NBA champion squad is still intact, the Knicks have set themselves up for quite the battle in training camp. They have brought in five notable free agents on Exhibit 9 deals for training camp. An Exhibit 9 is basically a training camp tryout.
The New York Knicks have signed the following players to Exhibit 9 contracts:

- James Wiseman

Bruce Brown, John Konchar, James Wiseman, Drew Eubanks, and Ochai Agbaji.
Those five veterans will compete for one or two remaining roster spots on the Knicks. All five have been regular parts of a rotation in the NBA at one point or another.
New York does have two open roster spots, but barring a trade, per Bobby Marks, they can only keep 1 player, due to the vet minimum being $2.4 million.
Brown, 30, the most recent signing, averaged 7.9 points on 47.5% shooting, 3.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals over 24.4 minutes in 82 games for the Denver Nuggets this past season. He was a key part of the rotation for the 2023 NBA Champions in Denver.
The Knicks beat out several contenders in the East to land Konchar, who was brought in after he was waived last week.
Wiseman is the former No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, and while he hasn't found a permanent home yet in the league, he has averaged 9.0 points and 5.5 rebounds in 18.8 minutes per game in five seasons with the Golden State Warriors, Detroit Pistons, and Indiana Pacers.
Agbaji is a 6'5" wing who spent three seasons with the Toronto Raptors. He had one very solid year in 2024-25, averaging 10 points and 3.8 boards while shooting 39.9% from three. But he was barely usable his other two seasons there.
Eubanks is an eight-year veteran big man.
