Knicks Release Bruce Brown, Retain James Wiseman

The New York Knicks announced on Saturday that they have waived Bruce Brown, opting to retain James Wiseman for their roster. This decision was influenced by salary cap limitations that prevented the team from keeping both players.

Brown's release allows Wiseman to secure the team's 14th roster spot, where he will serve as a backup center behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond. The Knicks had considered trades involving other players to accommodate both veterans, but no deals were finalized prior to Brown's departure.

Last season, Brown played all 82 games for the Nuggets, averaging 7.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.1 assists. His non-guaranteed contract may attract interest from other teams during waivers. If he clears, a potential return to the Knicks later in the season could be possible, contingent on financial adjustments.
