Knicks Waive Matt Ryan, Jacob Toppin Ahead of Stretch Run

News summary

The New York Knicks have waived two players, Matt Ryan and Jacob Toppin, as part of their roster adjustments ahead of the season's stretch run. Ryan, who played 19 games for the Knicks this season, averaged 1.5 points and was viewed as a floor-spacing option, while Toppin, in 16 appearances, averaged just 0.4 points, which likely influenced the decision to release him. Both players were on two-way contracts and had been alternating between the Knicks and their G League affiliate. With these moves, the Knicks are expected to explore the buyout market for potential veteran reinforcements, utilizing their financial flexibility as they aim for a playoff push. Reports indicate potential interest in G League players and international prospects to fill their roster needs. The Knicks currently have one open roster spot following these waivers.
