The New York Knicks filled one of their last remaining roster spots with a former Brooklyn Nets forward. Tosan Evbuomwan agreed to a two-way contract with New York ahead of training camp, according to SNY's Ian Begley. Evbuomwan joins Trey Jemison III and Kevin McCullar Jr. as the Knicks' two-way players to begin the 2025-26 campaign.

After going undrafted out of Princeton in 2023, Evbuomwan spent his rookie campaign with the Memphis Grizzlies and Detroit Pistons before signing a two-way deal with the Nets last offseason. The 6-foot-7 forward played in 28 games with Brooklyn, averaging 9.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists on 42.7 percent shooting.

The Nets waived Evbuomwan following a subpar showing at this year's Summer League. The 24-year-old averaged 11.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game while shooting 10-of-33 (30.3 percent) from the field and 1-of-8 (12.5 percent) from three over three appearances in Las Vegas. His outside shooting has been a weakness dating back to college, as he shot 25.8 percent from three over three seasons at Princeton and 31.2 percent last season with Brooklyn.

Evbuomwan will add depth to a Knicks wing rotation that features O.G. Anunoby, Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart . McCullar Jr. presents another option at the position for New York. The 24-year-old split time between Weschester and New York last season, averaging 11.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.7 steals on 39/22/79 shooting splits over 13 G League appearances.
In addition to their two-way players, the Knicks have 11 players on guaranteed contracts entering training camp. They also have Ariel Hukporti on a non-guaranteed deal, although they are expected to bring him back this season.
The Eastern Conference favorite signed Malcolm Brogdon , Landry Shamet , Alex Len , Garrison Matthews, Matt Ryan and Mohamed Diawara to non-guaranteed training camp deals. Each of them will compete to earn one of New York's three remaining standard roster spots.
