The Knicks and free agent guard Malcolm Brogdon<\/a> have reached an agreement on a one-year contract, agent Sam Permut tells Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\"\"While Charania doesn\u2019t provide any additional details on the deal, Ian Begley of SNY.tv (Twitter link<\/a>) confirms it\u2019s non-guaranteed, giving Brogdon the opportunity to compete<\/a> with Landry Shamet<\/a> and Garrison Mathews<\/a> for a regular season roster spot.<\/p>\n

Due to limited flexibility below a second-apron hard cap<\/a>, New York only has the ability to carry one of those minimum-salary veterans into the regular season unless the team sheds salary with a buyout or trade.<\/p>\n

Brogdon, who will turn 33 in December, has been a reliable rotation guard since entering the NBA as a second-round pick in 2016. He won Rookie of the Year honors during his first of three seasons in Milwaukee (2016-19), spent three years with the Pacers (2019-22), then was named Sixth Man of the Year with Boston in 2023.<\/p>\n

Brogdon was traded from the Celtics to the Trail Blazers in the Jrue Holiday<\/a> blockbuster prior to the 2023\/24 season and spent one year in Portland before being dealt to Washington during the 2024\/25 offseason. He appeared in 24 games for the Wizards last season, averaging 12.7 points, 4.1 assists, and 3.8 rebounds in 23.5 minutes per contest.<\/p>\n

Although he has solid career averages of 15.3 PPG, 4.7 APG, and 4.1 RPG on .463\/.388\/.874 shooting, Brogdon also an extensive injury history. Since seeing action in 75 games as a rookie, he has been sidelined for 249 of 637 regular season contests, appearing in more than 56 games in a season just twice in eight years. The former Virginia standout didn\u2019t play after the All-Star break last season due to an ankle sprain.<\/p>\n

The Knicks are currently carrying 12 players on guaranteed standard contracts. They have enough room below the second apron to carry one more player on a veteran\u2019s minimum contract and one on a rookie minimum contract into the regular season. Both Brogdon and Shamet are expected to receive \u201cstrong\u201d consideration for that veteran slot, per Begley, with Mathews also in the mix.<\/p>\n

Brogdon, Shamet, and Mathews will all likely have Exhibit 9<\/a> language in their contracts, meaning they won\u2019t count against the cap unless they make the regular season roster and the team will have protection in the event of a preseason injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Knicks and free agent guard Malcolm Brogdon have reached an agreement on a one-year contract, agent Sam…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":138847,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,16096,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-138846","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-basketball","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-basketball","11":"tag-malcolm-brogdon","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138846\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/138847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
