The Knicks’ decision to waive small forward Troy Williams on Monday has provided undrafted Arizona guard Allonzo Trier a puncher’s chance at making the 15-man roster following his solid — if overlooked — summer-league performance.
Trier is on a two-way G-League contract, allowing him to be on the Knicks’ roster for a maximum of 45 days, with the clock stopping in early April.
If Trier looks good in training camp, the two-way deal can be ripped up and he can vault into a 15-man roster spot. Williams’ surprising waiver means the Knicks now have the allotted 15 players for their NBA roster, along with a pair of two-way guys: Trier and Isaiah Hicks.
