Knicks' 7-foot NBA champion all but secures final roster spot after Drew Eubanks gets waived
Drew Eubanks’ injury and Thursday’s cuts leave New York with room for one more veteran-minimum player under the second apron.

- The Knicks also plan to waive veteran center Tony Bradley and guard Ochai Agbaji, according to reports Thursday, significantly trimming the training camp roster ahead of the regular season.
- Center James Wiseman emerged as the favorite for the final roster spot after posting 18 points and 10 rebounds on 7-of-8 shooting Tuesday against Toronto, providing size behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond.
- While Wiseman addresses the team's positional need, 30-year-old guard Bruce Brown offers defensive versatility and championship experience, narrowing the final decision to these two candidates.
- With the October 19 roster deadline approaching, head coach Mike Brown said the team seeks a player who can "play hard" and provide distinct value to the championship defense.
