The New York Knicks waive forward Bruce Brown, while retaining center James Wiseman on the roster ahead of the team’s regular-season opener, according to multiple reports. ESPN and Yahoo Sports say Wiseman is kept as the Knicks finalize their lineup.
CBS Sports and the New York Post report that Wiseman receives the final roster spot, framing the move as providing additional frontcourt depth for the reigning NBA champions. All outlets indicate Brown is the player moved off the roster, with Wiseman expected to be the corresponding addition or retention spot as the Knicks head into their season opener. The reports focus on roster construction timing rather than broader strategic explanations, and they do not describe an immediate alternative destination for Brown in these accounts.
