What happened: New York brought in Tony Bradley on an Exhibit 9 deal for training camp. He joins Drew Eubanks and James Wiseman in competition for a frontcourt opening. John Konchar was waived after time away from the team for a personal matter.

Why it matters: The moves reset the battle for the final roster spot entering the 2026-27 season. New York is sorting frontcourt depth behind its guaranteed rotation. Camp performance will decide which big sticks.

What to watch: Watch camp practices and preseason minutes for the three frontcourt candidates. Final cuts will set the opening roster.
