Rookie swingman Kris Wilkes of UCLA won’t be headed to Knicks training camp on a two-way contract, The Post has learned.
Due to health reasons, Wilkes’ verbal agreement on a two-way deal has been voided.
Wilkes, a 6-foot-8 small forward who averaged 17.4 points as a UCLA sophomore sniper, missed the Las Vegas summer league with what the Knicks termed an illness.
While the 20-year-old is not considered healthy enough for camp that begins Sept. 30, the Knicks remain interested in Wilkes for later this season, according to an NBA source.
After going undrafted on June 20, Wilkes agreed the next day to a two-way contract, which means he would have been permitted 45 days on the Knicks’ roster and the rest with the G League Westchester Knicks.
