New York Knicks Close 2025 Summer League Versus Washington Wizards in Las Vegas

The New York Knicks concluded their 2025 NBA Summer League campaign with a loss to the Washington Wizards, ending with a 1-4 record. Despite spirited efforts and a previous win over the Brooklyn Nets, injuries have plagued the Knicks' roster, sidelining key players like Pacome Dadiet and Ariel Hukporti. Standout performances came from players like MarJon Beauchamp, who scored 28 points in a close game against the Indiana Pacers, and Tyler Kolek, who alongside Beauchamp led the Knicks to their sole Summer League victory over the Nets. The Knicks' Summer League squad has yet to reveal a clear rotation mainstay for Head Coach Mike Brown, though there is optimism around several young players potentially adding depth to the team. Observers note that evaluating Summer League statistics can be misleading, as teams have different developmental goals and the Knicks are still searching for reliable bench contributors. This Summer League experience highlights the Knicks' ongoing effort to build a more robust and competitive roster for the upcoming NBA season.
