The New York Knicks have made a roster move by waiving Matt Ryan and Jacob Toppin, both of whom were on two-way contracts and had minimal playing time this season. Ryan contributed just 3.6 minutes across 19 games, while Toppin averaged 3.1 minutes in 16 games. This decision opens up the possibility for the Knicks to sign two new players to two-way contracts and one to a traditional contract, creating flexibility for their roster.

With the Knicks currently holding a solid 39-20 record and positioned as the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference, attention is now on potential replacements. Moses Brown, a 7-foot-2 center on a 10-day contract with the Dallas Mavericks, is reportedly on New York’s radar. However, the Mavericks' hard-cap situation complicates matters. The Knicks also have an eye on NBA veterans like T.J. Warren and Chuma Okeke, who could fill the open roster spot following Hukporti's knee injury.
