Knicks add Milicic on Exhibit 10 deal as training camp roster takes shape

New York has signed Milicic to an Exhibit 10 contract, a standard training camp mechanism that gives the defending champions a low-cost look at a fringe roster candidate with no guaranteed commitment beyond camp.

The move fits the pattern of this offseason. With Mitchell Robinson gone to Boston and the failed Moussa Cisse offer sheet leaving the frontcourt thin, the Knicks have been filling out the roster edges through cost-conscious additions — Andre Drummond on a one-year minimum-range deal being the most significant. An Exhibit 10 signing carries no real salary-cap weight and typically converts to a two-way contract or results in a waiver, making it a no-risk camp evaluation.

For a defending champion managing a compressed payroll and real health uncertainty around Jalen Brunson's wrist, these peripheral signings are less about the player than about the process — keeping options open as training camp approaches and the full picture of the roster's durability comes into focus.
