The Knicks continue to tinker around the periphery of their roster. According to Stefan Bondy of The New York Post (subscriber link), New York is working out a pair of free agents who finished last season with the Lakers, veteran Alex Len and former L.A. two-way player Trey Jemison III.
Bondy previously reported that the Knicks will be working out journeyman guard Dennis Smith Jr., who has been without a team since parting ways with Real Madrid in February.
As Bondy notes, New York can field a roster of up to 21 players heading into training camp.
For now, only 12 players occupy the Knicks’ standard roster. 2025 second-round selection Mohamed Diawara is expected to ink a standard deal with New York, while Kevin McCullar Jr. has a two-way qualifying offer extended his way.
Veteran guards Malcolm Brogdon, Landry Shamet and Garrison Mathews have all agreed to non-guaranteed training camp agreements. New York will only be able to retain one of those non-guaranteed veterans into the regular season because of hard-cap restrictions. That said, it’s possible the Knicks could offload a player or two in a trade to create the cap flexibility necessary to hang onto two of Brogdon, Shamet and Mathews.
For what it’s worth, Jemison remains eligible for a two-way contract, but that’s not the case for Len, a 12-year veteran.
