New York Knicks Sign Veteran Guard Malcolm Brogdon

The New York Knicks have signed veteran guard Malcolm Brogdon to a one-year, non-guaranteed deal, aiming to bolster their backcourt depth and bench playmaking ahead of the upcoming NBA season. Brogdon, entering his 10th season, has notable accolades including the 2017 Rookie of the Year and 2023 Sixth Man of the Year, making him one of only two players to win both awards. Despite a limited and injury-plagued 2024 season with the Washington Wizards, where he averaged 12.7 points and 4.1 assists in 24 games, Brogdon has a strong shooting history, ranking fourth in three-point percentage over the prior two seasons. The Knicks, under new coach Mike Brown, view Brogdon as a reliable secondary ballhandler and a calm presence for late-game situations, though his availability due to recent injuries remains a concern. Brogdon will compete for minutes with other veterans such as Landry Shamet and Garrison Mathews, as the Knicks have only one roster spot available before the season, setting up a competitive training camp battle. This signing adds to a Knicks team poised for a deep Eastern Conference run, complementing their core players like Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.
