Bruce Brown will enter free agency after the Knicks kept James Wiseman to preserve roster flexibility and avoid the second apron, ESPN reported.
- On Saturday, the New York Knicks waived veteran guard Bruce Brown, retaining center James Wiseman to finalize their Opening Night roster as defending champions.

- The defending champion New York Knicks begin their 2026 season on Tuesday against Philadelphia, while Brown enters the free-agent market seeking opportunities with other teams.
