Knicks announce dangerously thin regular-season roster

The New York Knicks will enter the 2024–2025 NBA season with the strongest roster the franchise has put together in years—if not decades—but one certainly thinner than anticipated.

Late-preseason injuries and roster cuts have significantly impacted the Knicks’ depth ahead of their opener against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday, and the team will go to war with a thin 10-man rotation for at least the first few weeks of the season.

Among those wounded are center Mitchell Robinson, expected out until past New Year, and backup big Precious Achiuwa, who the team announced yesterday will be out for at least the next two-to-four weeks.
