In a surprising move, Malcolm Brogdon announced his retirement from the NBA on Wednesday, concluding a decorated nine-year career. Initially in training camp with the Knicks on a non-guaranteed deal, Brogdon was a potential favorite for an opening night roster spot. His retirement may influence the Knicks’ roster decisions, particularly regarding players such as Pacôme Dadiet and Tyler Kolek.

In a strategic move ahead of roster finalization, the Knicks are utilizing Monday’s game against the Wizards to evaluate key players vying for spots. Malcolm Brogdon and Pacôme Dadiet are particularly under the spotlight, with Brogdon aiming to secure his position. Meanwhile, Dadiet, whose name circulates in trade discussions, also seeks to make a strong impression. Top players are resting, while Shamet and Hukporti are sidelined due to illness.
