The Knicks are signing free agent forward Tosan Evbuomwan, agent George S. Langberg tells Michael Scotto of HoopsHype (Twitter link).
Evbuomwan had been on a two-way deal with the Nets in 2024/25. Brooklyn waived the 6’8″ British combo forward in August.
After going undrafted out of Princeton in 2023, the former Ivy League Player of the Year linked up with the Pistons’ G League affiliate, the Motor City Cruise, to start his pro career. Evbuomwan signed a 10-day contract with the Grizzlies thanks to his robust output for Motor City, then joined Detroit on a 10-day deal, later agreeing to a two-way contract. He started 2024/25 with the Clippers’ NBAGL club, the San Diego Clippers before inking a two-way deal with Brooklyn in January.
In 28 NBA games with Brooklyn last season, the 24-year-old averaged a career-best 9.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 0.9 steals per contest, with a shooting line of .427/.312/.753. Across 13 G League contests with Long Island Nets, he averaged 19.2 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 3.6 APG, and 0.9 SPG.
The terms of the contract haven’t been reported, but it’s likely to be a training camp deal. New York hasn’t signed anyone to a two-way contract yet, although a two-way qualifying offer has been extended to forward Kevin McCullar Jr. Evbuomwan could end up competing with anticipated training camp signees Dink Pate and Fanbo Zeng for the remaining two-way slots.
Rookie second-rounder Mohamed Diawara is expected to level up and agree to a standard deal, skirting a two-way contract.
Tosan is pretty good. Could be a fine role player.
Who ????
not sure what to think of all these players getting invited to camp. I mean if they truly want to open up more can room thru a trade. They should be talking to Horford to sign. He will be closer to his family in Boston. A vet minimum and a 2 mill no show sponsor gig………
