The New York Knicks are fresh off an NBA title, and now they are adding a former NBA champion to their roster.
On Wednesday, the Knicks made a series of moves, with the most notable one being the addition of Bruce Brown, who joins the team on an Exhibit 9 deal.

Brown was part of the Denver Nuggets team that won the NBA Finals in 2023. Brown then spent the 2023-24 season between the Toronto Raptors and Indiana Pacers, and the 2024-25 season between the Raptors and New Orleans Pelicans before returning to the Nuggets last season.
The Knicks also signed a handful of others to exhibit 9 deals, including former first-round pick James Wiseman.
The Knicks sign James Wiseman, Ochai Agbaji, John Konchar, Drew Eubanks and Bruce Brown to Exhibit 9 contracts today. Ben Simmons was also on the Knicks’ radar before he signed with the Kings.

Brown had been on the Knicks’ radar for some time, and Ben Simmons was also a player drawing interest before he signed a deal with the Sacramento Kings.
With the Exhibit 9 deal, it is a non-guaranteed deal for training camp, so Brown and others will be fighting for a roster spot.
