Knicks waiving Drew Eubanks, Tony Bradley, Ochai Agbaji

The New York Knicks plan to waive center Drew Eubanks, center Tony Bradley, and guard Ochai Agbaji, according to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania. The decision leaves James Wiseman as the leading candidate to secure a backup center role behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond. Eubanks is notably departing after suffering a torn pectoral muscle that will sideline him for an extended period.

Eubanks holds an Exhibit 9 contract that limits New York's financial obligation to a $15,000 waiver payment. New York currently has 13 guaranteed contracts and aims to avoid surpassing the second tax apron, restricting how many open roster spots owner James Dolan's franchise will ultimately fill heading into the season.
