The New York Knicks have made a significant roster move by waiving Matt Ryan, a former sharpshooter for the Los Angeles Lakers. The Knicks announced freeing two-way spots by releasing Ryan along with Jacob Toppin, who has already hit the maximum game limit for the season. Ryan played 19 games with New York, averaging 1.5 points over 3.5 minutes per game, and had previously appeared in 12 games for the Lakers last season, with a slightly better average of 3.9 points.

Originally drafted to the NBA from a college career that took him from Notre Dame to Chattanooga, Ryan's inconsistent performances have led him to join multiple teams in his short career. He is now looking for new opportunities as he continues to navigate the challenges of professional basketball.
