Knicks’ Dolan rules out second apron spending, risking key player losses

Knicks owner James Dolan stated the team will not exceed the NBA's second apron limit, impacting the future of key rotation players. Backup center Mitchell Robinson and reserve guard Landry Shamet, both unrestricted free agents, will likely not be retained. The Knicks are projected to be $13 million under the second apron next season. Dolan's comments come after the Knicks' championship win in June, raising questions about the roster's continuity. Reserve point guard Jose Alvarado also faces a deadline to opt into his contract next week.
