Episode Details

The Knicks are eyeing rookie shooter Tyler Nickel for the upcoming season, despite rumors he might return to college for a bigger NIL payday. With a recent court ruling extending eligibility, Nickel chose pro basketball instead — and New York is poised to make him their first two-way signing since they’re the only team without any on roster. But his Summer League success and decision to skip college suggest he’s after more than just a developmental gig. Expect either a two-way deal with a conversion clause or a standard second-round exception contract — though the latter would block them from signing another big man. With his proven three-point shooting and potential to be a floor-spacing force, Nickel could be the perfect fit — if the Knicks can balance his upside with their roster constraints.
