The Story in 60 Seconds

The New York Knicks have waived veteran guard Bruce Brown and selected center James Wiseman to fill an open regular-season roster spot. Wiseman initially joined the team on an Exhibit 9 training camp contract before earning a standard deal, while the Knicks parted ways with Brown ahead of the new NBA season to finalize their rotation.

Wiseman secured his position as a reserve center after competing against Drew Eubanks and Tony Bradley, recording 32 points and 17 rebounds across four preseason games. The Knicks are leaving one roster spot vacant for financial flexibility, and the report notes they could potentially bring Brown back later in the season once contracts are prorated.
