The New York Knicks<\/a> are waiving Bruce Brown<\/a>and keepingJames Wiseman<\/a>on the roster as the team heads into its regular-season opener, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Brown was one of several players on non-guaranteed deals vying for one of New York’s final two available roster spots.Tony Bradley<\/a>, Ochai Agbaji<\/a> and Drew Eubanks<\/a> were all also waived in recent days.<\/p>\n

Wiseman appeared in all four of the Knicks’ preseason games and impressed in 24 minutes vs. the Toronto Raptors<\/a> on Tuesday, when he scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.<\/p>\n

According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, the Knicks could have kept Brown and Wiseman<\/a>, but because they are only $3.2 million below their self-imposed hard cap at the second apron, retaining both players would’ve been difficult.<\/p>\n

Wiseman, 25, will join Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a> and Andre Drummond<\/a> in New York’s center rotation. The reigning NBA champions lost key reserve big man Mitchell Robinson<\/a> to the Boston Celtics<\/a> this past summer via free agency.<\/p>\n

The Knicks begin the NBA’s regular season Tuesday, when they host the new-look Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>.<\/p>\n
