Multiple reports say the New York Knicks’ expected use of a “second apron” restriction would limit their ability to retain some players. Forbes and Yahoo Sports both identify backup center Mitchell Robinson and reserve guard Landry Shamet as unrestricted free agents whose contracts the Knicks may not be able to maintain under the second-apron rules. Because Robinson and Shamet are not under contract beyond their current deals and are eligible to sign elsewhere, the reports suggest the Knicks could lose them if the league restrictions make bringing or re-signing their salaries untenable. The accounts focus on roster-management constraints created by the second-apron environment rather than on specific contract figures or negotiations. Both outlets frame the proclamation as a factor that directly affects the Knicks’ rotation depth, particularly in the frontcourt with Robinson and in backcourt/bench minutes with Shamet. The reports do not indicate confirmed departures, but they consistently describe the second-apron designation as a reason the Knicks might be unable to keep these players.
