Undrafted rookie Allonzo Trier’s 45-day limit on an NBA roster comes up Dec. 15 — pending any future cancelled practices, according to sources.
At that juncture, Trier’s two-way G-League contract will be converted to a mainstream NBA contract but it doesn’t have to be for his $838,000 minimum.
The New York Knicks never used their $3.3 million biannual exception and could use a portion of it to ink Trier. One issue is whether the Knicks can negotiate a multi-year pact with a team option if they give him more than the minimum.
In two-and-half weeks, the Knicks will have to make a roster cut.
