What happened: New York held 13 standard contracts before this move, so Konchar would leave the club one spot shy of a full 15-man roster if he makes the team out of camp. Drew Eubanks is also in the mix for a roster place as the Knicks sort through their final openings.

Why it matters: The Knicks are operating close to the second apron, so the last roster calls matter for both depth and flexibility heading into the 2026-27 season. Konchar's one-year pact keeps the Knicks' final roster spot focused on low-cost veteran help rather than a longer commitment.

What to watch: Watch whether Konchar carries this deal onto the opening-night roster and whether New York uses its last spot before camp closes. Eubanks remains one of the other names tied to that decision.
