What happened: New York is using camp to sort through its last openings after losing Mitchell Robinson and Ariel Hukporti in free agency. Wiseman enters that mix alongside Drew Eubanks on the center line, with Bruce Brown, John Konchar and Ochai Agbaji also competing for jobs.
Why it matters: The move gives the defending Knicks another low-risk look at size after opening camp with two roster vacancies. Andre Drummond is in place as the backup center, but New York still has room to add depth behind its frontcourt before the 2026-27 season.
By the numbers: Wiseman played four games for Indiana last season after an Achilles tear ended his 2024-25 debut five minutes in. Camp competition has mattered in New York before: Landry Shamet won a spot last fall, averaged 9.3 points in 23 minutes, and shot 47.5% from 3 in the playoffs.
What to watch: Training camp should clarify whether New York keeps an extra center or uses one of the final openings on the wing. Wiseman's clearest path likely runs through Eubanks if the Knicks reserve one spot for a big.
