The New York Knicks have made significant roster cuts ahead of the upcoming season, waiving Chuma Okeke and T.J. Warren while confirming the departure of Landry Shamet. Warren, known for his impressive performance during the 2020 NBA bubble, struggled in the preseason with limited minutes and points.
Despite some support from the coaching staff, Warren's release was influenced by Shamet's injury and the team's need to manage their salary cap. He will now join the G League's Westchester team, keeping the door open for a potential NBA return. The Knicks are set to start their season against the Boston Celtics.
