A look at the Knicks roster heading into the offseason:

Jalen Brunson

Stats: 26.0 PPG, 7.3 APG, 2.9 RPG

Contract status: 2025-26: $34.9M; 2026-27: $37.7M; 2027-28: $40.5M; 2028-29: Player option for $43.3M.

Skinny: Brunson has risen to the ranks of an elite NBA guard, earning the title of the league’s Clutch Player of the Year. He played a pivotal role in leading the Knicks to their first conference finals in 25 years, posting averages of 29.4 points and seven assists during the playoffs.

Karl-Anthony Towns

Stats: 24.4 PPG, 12.8 RPG, 3.1 APG

Contract Status: 2025-26: $53.1M; 2026-27: $57M; 2027-28: Player option for $61M.

Skinny: On the whole, his debut season with the Knicks was impressive. Towns earned a spot as an All-Star and was named to the All-NBA third team, bringing a fresh offensive dynamic to the team. However, the postseason exposed his defensive weaknesses, especially against the quick-paced, ball-moving Pacers.

OG Anunoby

Stats: 18.0 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 2.2 APG

Contract Status: 2025-26: $39.5M; 2026-27: $42.5M; 2027-28: $45.4M; 2028-29: Player option for $48.3M

Skinny: His defense on Pistons star Cade Cunningham was crucial in their first-round series win, and he significantly contributed to eliminating the defending champion Celtics in the second round. The versatile wing player also set a personal record in regular-season scoring, though his shooting percentages fell during the playoffs.

Mikal Bridges

Stats: 17.6 PPG, 3.7 APG, 3.2 RPG

Contract status: 2025-26: $24.9M.

Skinny: His postseason was similar to his first regular season with the Knicks: Uneven. There were bright spots — like the two clutch stops in the first two games against the Celtics in the second round — but also too many instances when he didn’t make enough of an impact.

Josh Hart

Stats: 13.6 PPG, 9.6 RPG, 5.9 APG

Contract Status: 2025-26: $19.4M; 2026-27: $20.9M; 2027-28: Team option for $22.3M.

Skinny: A shaky series against the Pacers shouldn’t diminish his year. The gutty Hart set career highs in rebounds, assists, steals and minutes, and was instrumental in the series upset of the Celtics, averaging 14.5 rebounds, 8.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists.

Miles McBride

Stats: 9.5 PPG, 2.9 APG, 2.5 RPG

Contract status: 2025-26: $4.3M; 2026-27: $3.9M

Skinny: He found his shot in the playoffs and led the Knicks in NET rating at plus-4.3. Owed just over $8M the next two years, McBride is a bargain.

Mitchell Robinson

Stats: 5.1 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 1.1 BPG

Contract status: 2025-26: $12.9M

Skinny: A difference-maker in the playoffs after appearing in only 17 regular-season games following ankle surgery, Robinson was a key piece in the postseason. His 17.2 playoff offensive rebounding percentage was tops among players in the league who saw rotation minutes.

Cam Payne

Stats: 6.9 PPG, 2.8 APG, 1.4 RPG

Contract status: Unrestricted free agent 

Skinny: The veteran guard was a playoff disappointment other than his impactful opener against the Pistons. He eventually lost his spot in the rotation to Delon Wright in the Pacers series, and was mostly underwhelming during the regular season. 

Landry Shamet

Stats: 5.7 PPG, 1.2 RPG, 0.5 APG

Contract status: Unrestricted free agent

Skinny: Benched for most of the postseason, Shamet made an impact when given a chance against the Pacers. Was a capable bench piece during the regular season.

Delon Wright

Stats: 4.3 PPG, 2.1 APG, 1.4 RPG

Contract status: Unrestricted free agent

Skinny: Picked up in the Jericho Sims trade in February, Wright was a nonfactor until the Pacers series, when he was given a chance to contribute. He answered the call, giving the Knicks quality minutes behind Brunson.

Precious Achiuwa

Stats: 6.6 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 1.0 APG

Contract status: Unrestricted free agent

Skinny: Well-liked and versatile reserve who had a role during large parts of the 51-win regular season, but fell out of the rotation in the playoffs. Could look elsewhere for a bigger opportunity.

Tyler Kolek

Stats: 2.0 PPG, 1.7 APG, 0.7 RPG

Contract status: 2025-26: $2.1M; 2026-27: 2.2M; 2027-28: Team option for $2.4M

Skinny: Second-round pick out of Marquette mostly watched and learned as a rookie. Uncertain if the Knicks believe he’s ready to serve as Brunson’s backup next season.

Kevin McCullar Jr.

Contract status: Restricted free agent.

Skinny: Didn’t make his G-League debut until Jan. 31 due to knee surgery, and the second-round pick appeared in just four games with the Knicks.

Ariel Hukporti

Stats: 1.9 PPG, 2.0 RPG, 0.6 BPG

Contract status: 2025-26: Team option for $1.9M.

Skinny: The athletic big man has shown glimpses of potential when given a chance.

Pacome Dadiet

Contract status: 2025-26: $2.8M; 2026-27: Team option for $2.9M; 2027-28: Team option for $5.3M.

Skinny: First-round pick from France put up quality numbers in the G-League (14.9 points, 5.4 rebounds) during a rookie season that didn’t include much action with the Knicks.

P.J. Tucker

Stats: 3.0 PPG, 2.7 RPG, 0.3 BPG

Contract status: 2025-26: Team option for $3.4M.

Skinny: Teammates credited the 40-year-old Tucker, signed in March, for his leadership and knowledge he shared during the playoff run to the conference finals.
