Knicks pick up Jericho Sims option Stefan Bondy: The Knicks picked up Jericho Sims contract option for next year, a source told The Post.Source: Twitter @SBondyNYDN What’s the...
Jericho Sims - Knicks pick up team option The Knicks have picked up Sims' $2.1 million team option Saturday, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Impact Sims will return to the Knicks for at least one more year. This comes amid uncertainty around Isaiah Hartenstein's future with the club, as the Knicks have reported interest in bringing the big man back. Sims appeared in 45 regular-season games last year, during which he averaged 2.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.4 blocks across a career-low 13.0 minutes per game

Jacob Toppin - Knicks extend qualifying offer The Knicks extended their two-way qualifying offer to Toppin on Saturday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
Impact Toppin was a non-factor for the Knicks last season, during which he averaged 1.4 points and 0.8 rebounds across 4.2 minutes in nine regular-season games. However, the 24-year-old averaged 19.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 blocks across 36.7 minutes per game with the team's G League affiliate. Toppin has shown promise, but he will likely not see a significant uptick in NBA playing time next season.

NBA teams more than make up for quiet 1st round with flurry of trades on second day of draft
NBA teams made up for the lack of trade action during the league’s first night of holding its draft over two days with a flurry of moves ThursdayJUNE 28 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ariel Hukporti - Last pick in 2024 NBA Draft Hukporti was selected with the No. 58 overall pick by the Knicks in the 2024 NBA Draft.
Impact Hukporti has been playing overseas with Riesen Ludwigsburg in the German Bundesliga, and spent time in the Australian NBL before that. The 22-year-old center is a classic big -- a screen-setter who can finish at the basket and protect the rim. He's full of energy and looking to make hustle plays. It seems unlikely he'll see meaningful minutes as a rookie.

Tyler Kolek - Drafted at No. 34 by New York Kolek was selected by the Knicks with the No. 34 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, with the Knicks sending the Trail Blazers future second-round picks to make the selection, Adrian Wojna...
Impact The point guard out of Marquette fill be fighting for backup minutes behind Jalen Brunson. At 6-foot-1, defense is Kolek's weak point. But the Second Team All-American has a diverse offensive skillset, able to score and pass in a variety of ways, including around the basket and from three.

Miles McBride - Undergoes toe procedure The Knicks announced Thursday that McBride underwent a procedure on the pinky toe on his right foot earlier this week, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
Impact The team didn't provide an official timeline for McBride's recovery, but he's expected to resume full basketball activities later in the summer, which puts him on track to be ready to go for the start of training camp in the fall. During his third NBA season in 2023-24, McBride struggled to find consistent playing time early in the campaign when the Knicks were in better health, but he took on a sizable role as injuries began to pile up over the course of the season. After the All-Star break, McBride appeared in 39 of the Knicks' 40 games (including playoffs) and averaged 11.7 points, 2.5 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 2.2 three-pointers in 29.6 minutes per contest. Though he excelled in a supporting role when given major minutes, McBride will likely see a stark drop in playing time in 2024-25 with the Knicks having acquired Mikal Bridges and re-signed OG Anunoby (hamstring) this offseason.
