Bruce Brown ‘very surprised’ to be fighting different kind of second-apron battle for Knicks chance

Bruce Brown expressed surprise after encountering a limited free-agent market before signing with the New York Knicks. Despite playing in 82 games last season for a title-contending team, the guard found few suitors pursuing him during free agency.

Brown revealed to The Post that interested teams frequently cited NBA second-apron salary cap restrictions as the common excuse for not offering deals, underscoring the financial constraints impacting contract negotiations across the league.
