Knicks Have Only 1 Roster Spot Remaining After Series Of Moves<\/h2>\n

On Sept. 16, the New York Knicks made a series of moves to refine their 2025-26 roster, signing center Trey Jemison<\/a> III to a two-way contract (h\/t SNY reporter Ian Begley). The Knicks will also be signing 2024 No. 56 pick Kevin McCullar Jr.<\/a> to a two-way contract, per Begley. McCullar, who New York acquired in a draft night trade with the Phoenix Suns, spent his rookie season on a two-way contract as well.<\/p>\n

McCullar had a standout college career, playing at Texas Tech and Kansas. He was a two-time All-Big 12 selection and broke out as an All-American in his graduate year. Yet, he hasn’t lived up to expectations in the NBA. To be fair to him, a season-ending injury<\/a> he suffered in 2023-24 prevented him from playing until March 2025. However, due to OG Anunoby<\/a>‘s injury history, he could very well be called up to play important minutes in 2025-26.<\/p>\n

Knicks and Trey Jemison III have reached agreement on a two-way contact, per SNY sources. Jemison III, a 6-11 270-pound big man, gives the Knicks added front-court depth. Knicks will enter training camp with one open two-way spot. Kevin McCullar Jr. is expected to come back on a\u2026<\/p>\n
