Mitchell Robinson

NYK Center #23

According to SNY’s Ian Begley, Mitchell Robinson (left ankle surgery) still has not been cleared to resume “high-intensity weight-bearing” activities during rehab.

Robinson underwent two separate surgeries on his left ankle during the 2023-24 season, the second occurring in mid-May after suffering a stress injury during the playoffs. At the time, it was reported that an update would be provided in 6-8 weeks. Given Begley’s recent update, there’s still work for Robinson to do rehab-wise before he’s given full on-court clearance. With Isaiah Hartenstein leaving in free agency, the Knicks need a healthy Robinson on the court as they look to contend in the East. As for his fantasy value, it will be difficult for managers to fully trust a player who appeared in 31 regular season games last season.
Jacob Toppin

NYK Small Forward #00

The Knicks have signed Jacob Toppin to a two-way contract.

After spending last season with the Knicks on a two-way deal, Toppin will remain with the team on similar terms in 2024-25. Undrafted out of Kentucky, the younger brother of former Knick Obi Toppin appeared in nine NBA games as a rookie. Given how deep New York is at the forward positions, Toppin is unlikely to get the minutes needed to be worthy of consideration in any fantasy leagues.
Kevin McCullar

NYK Shooting Guard

The Knicks have signed second-round pick Kevin McCullar to a two-way contract.

McCullar, the 56th overall pick in June’s draft, did not play in summer league due to a knee injury that prematurely ended his final season at Kansas. The two-way contract is unsurprising due to the Knicks’ wing depth in the aftermath of the Mikal Bridges trade. While he may be worth a late-round flier in deeper dynasty drafts, McCullar is unlikely to be worth the risk in redraft leagues this season.
Chuma Okeke

NYK Power Forward #3

According to Hoops Hype’s Michael Scotto, Chuma Okeke is signing a deal with New York.

Okeke averaged career lows across the board last season and will join a Knicks team that leans heavily on its starters. He isn’t likely to be relevant in fantasy any time soon with versatile forwards like OG Anunoby, Josh Hart, and Mikal Bridges ahead of him on the depth chart.
Precious Achiuwa

NYK Power Forward #5

The Knicks announced on Tuesday that they have re-signed free agent power forward/center Precious Achiuwa.

Despite playing well down the stretch of last season, the free agency market did not open up for Achiuwa in the way he hoped it would. The Knicks are bringing him back, with ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reporting that the deal is worth $6 million for one season. That will give Achiuwa another opportunity to prove himself, especially as the backup to a starting center who has struggled to remain healthy (Mitchell Robinson). Achiuwa will be worth a late-round roll of the dice, and there will be times when he’s a worthwhile streaming target.
Rokas Jokubaitis

NYK Point Guard #0

Maccabi Tel Aviv has signed Rokas Jokubaitis to a three-year contract.

A second-round pick of the Thunder (who traded his draft rights to the Knicks) in the 2021 NBA Draft, Jokubaitis has yet to appear in an NBA game. He spent last season with FC Barcelona and is now headed to Israel on a three-year pact with Maccabi Tel Aviv. While Jokubaitis played well in Las Vegas, the additions of second-round pick Tyler Kolek and free agent signing Cameron Payne would make it difficult for him to earn rotation minutes behind Jalen Brunson.
Tom Thibodeau

NYK Head Coach

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Tom Thibodeau has agreed to a three-year extension to remain with the Knicks.

The extension will keep him with New York through the 2027-28 campaign. The Knicks made the conference semifinals in each of the last two seasons, and the team came within a game of making the conference finals in 2024 despite missing a number of key players due to injury.
Rokas Jokubaitis

NYK Point Guard #0

Rokas Jokubaitis shot 7-of-7 from the field in Wednesday’s 106-105 win over the Kings, amassing 16 points, one rebound, five assists, two steals, one block, and two 3-pointers in 21 minutes.

After failing to qualify for the Paris Olympics with Lithuania, Jokubaitis joined the Knicks in Las Vegas for summer league. He’s come off the bench and has functioned well in that role, providing scoring and playmaking from the guard position. Whether or not the Knicks will have room for Jokubaitis on their regular season roster remains to be seen, as second-round draft pick Tyler Kolek has been signed to a four-year deal. Jokubaitis spent last season with Barcelona in Spain’s ACB.
Tyler Kolek

NYK Point Guard

Tyler Kolek shot 6-of-14 from the field and 6-of-7 from the foul line in Wednesday’s 106-105 win over Sacramento, scoring 21 points with four rebounds, eight assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 32 minutes.

One day removed from blowing a big lead in a loss to the Nets, the Knicks got their first win of the summer after nearly collapsing again. And Kolek made the two biggest shots, a baseline floater followed by a layup through contact to give New York the win. After focusing primarily on setting up others in New York’s first two games, the second-round pick was more aggressive in looking for his shot. Kolek’s role will be different once the regular season begins, but summer league allows him to do more scoring.
Cameron Payne

NYK Point Guard #22

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Knicks have signed Cameron Payne to a one-year, $3.1 million deal.

The Knicks have another left-handed point guard on their roster, with Payne joining Jalen Brunson and second-round pick Tyler Kolek (Deuce McBride is the only right-hander). The 2015 first-round pick began last season with the Bucks but was more impactful during his time with the 76ers. In 31 games with Philadelphia, Payne averaged 9.3 points and 3.1 assists in 19.4 minutes. Brunson’s presence means it will be difficult for Payne to provide consistent fantasy value, but he will have every opportunity to compete with Kolek for the backup point guard job.
