The New York Knicks have brought in another tall, mobile forward to compete for a job as training camp draws closer.

Polish-Croatian forward Igor Milicic Jr. agreed to an Exhibit 10 contract with the defending NBA champions, according to Karol Wasiek of Interia Sport.

The 24-year-old is listed at 6-foot-10 and 225 pounds. The deal lets him try to earn a roster spot in camp and gives New York his G League rights if he is waived.

Milicic spent last season with the Delaware Blue Coats, the Philadelphia 76ers’ G League affiliate. He appeared in 45 games and averaged 6.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 0.9 assists in 18.8 minutes.

He shot 40.1 percent from the field, 28.2 percent from three-point range and 76.9 percent from the free-throw line in that stint.

The Knicks entered the weekend with 13 players on standard contracts and all three two-way slots still open. NBA teams can carry as many as 21 players through training camp before they have to trim the roster for opening night.

That leaves plenty of room for more camp signings. An Exhibit 10 deal does not count against the salary cap if the player is waived before the regular season.

If Milicic is cut and then spends at least 60 days with the Westchester Knicks, he could collect a bonus of up to about $91,000 on top of a normal G League paycheck.

He went undrafted in 2025 after bouncing around college. He played one season at Virginia, two at Charlotte and finished at Tennessee.

As a senior with the Volunteers, he started 37 games and averaged 9.4 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 25.4 minutes. He shot 47.2 percent from the floor and 31.4 percent from deep that year.

His size and movement let him slide between both forward spots and even some small-ball center minutes. That kind of flexibility is useful for a Knicks group that still has questions behind its main rotation.

New York kept most of its championship core and added veteran center Andre Drummond after Mitchell Robinson signed with Boston. Guards Jose Alvarado, Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet, along with forward Mohamed Diawara, are back as well.

The back end of the roster is still fluid. Milicic could push for one of the last standard spots, land one of the vacant two-way contracts or simply head to Westchester.

He has been open about his goal. In a recent interview with Interia Sport, Milicic said, “I am still fighting for the NBA and I will do it until I succeed. I believe that moment will come this year. I am in good physical shape.”

Wasiek reported that part of the reason Milicic chose New York was the number of open two-way slots and the chance to develop.

He also showed well for Poland in World Cup qualifying. He scored 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds against Germany, then posted 13 points, six assists and four steals against Israel, according to Sportando.

Those performances came after a G League year that started slowly because of an earlier injury. He played Summer League with the San Antonio Spurs this past summer, appearing in seven games.

His father, Igor Milicic Sr., coaches the Polish national team. The younger Milicic is the second Pole with an NBA deal this cycle after Jeremy Sochan signed with Portland.

For the Knicks, this is a low-risk look at a long, skilled big who can shoot a little and switch on defense. Camp will decide whether he sticks around in any capacity.

Training camp has not opened yet, and more Exhibit 10 or two-way additions are expected before the roster is set.
