The New York Knicks have thinned their training camp roster by waiving center Tony Bradley and wing Ochai Agbaji, moves confirmed by the team on Thursday alongside the previously reported release of injured big man Drew Eubanks.
The decisions, first signaled by reporters Ian Begley and Stefan Bondy and later confirmed by ESPN’s Shams Charania, leave only James Wiseman and Bruce Brown from a group of five veterans who entered camp on non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 deals still competing for regular-season spots.
With two openings remaining on the standard 15-man roster, the Knicks theoretically have room for both remaining invitees.
Retaining them both, however, would force the franchise either to exceed the second tax apron or to execute a trade that keeps them below the threshold.
Owner James Dolan has shown little appetite for even temporary second-apron spending, meaning one of the two is likely to be cut before Monday’s roster deadline.
Prior reporting this fall has suggested the front office prefers to keep a true center behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond; under that approach, Wiseman would hold the advantage over Brown for the final roster spot.
Bradley, selected 28th overall in 2017, brought eight seasons of NBA experience into camp.
He appeared in 234 regular-season games across his career, averaging 4.3 points and 3.8 rebounds in just under 11 minutes per night.
After splitting last season between Indiana and Atlanta, he posted 5.3 points and 1.7 rebounds in limited preseason minutes with New York.
Agbaji arrived as a former lottery selection who had already logged time with Utah, Toronto, and Brooklyn. His most productive stretch came in 2024-25 with the Raptors, where he averaged 10.4 points and 3.8 rebounds while shooting nearly 50 percent from the field and 40 percent from three.
Production and playing time declined the following season, and the Nets declined to extend a qualifying offer after trading for him near the deadline, making him an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Because both players were on non-guaranteed minimum contracts, any team with an open spot on its 21-man training-camp roster can claim them before they clear waivers.
Should they pass through unclaimed, they will become unrestricted free agents available to sign elsewhere.
The cuts bring the Knicks closer to their final 15-man roster while underscoring the financial constraints shaping their final roster decisions ahead of the regular season.
