- John Konchar agreed to a deal with the New York Knicks, with agent George S. Langberg of GSL Sports Group telling ESPN on Tuesday night that the 30-year-old forward is entering his eighth NBA season with over 360 career games.
- Konchar spent his first six seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies before being traded midseason to the Utah Jazz, where he averaged 5.9 points, 3.0 assists and 5.7 rebounds in 26 games last season.
- The Knicks have two open roster spots, giving Konchar a strong opportunity to make New York's final roster, sources said.
- New York also plans to sign center Drew Eubanks to a deal to compete for a roster spot, sources said, making it two veteran additions targeting the same pair of openings.
Why it matters: The Knicks are filling both open roster spots with experienced veterans — 30-year-old Konchar (360+ career games) and center Drew Eubanks — giving each a direct training-camp competition for a final roster place rather than a guaranteed slot.
