What happened
The Knicks are waiving Drew Eubanks after he tore a pectoral muscle, leaving him out for an extended stretch. He last appeared in Tuesday’s preseason loss to Toronto.
SNY’s Ian Begley says James Wiseman was already in a strong spot for the final roster, and New York still needs center depth after losing Mitchell Robinson and Ariel Hukporti this offseason. The Knicks must set their opening-night roster before the Oct. 20 opener against the 76es
Eubanks’ exit further tightens the Knicks’ center rotation in camp, which should boost the importance of Wiseman’s preseason case. New York still has to settle one final roster spot before opening night.
