Knicks sign Ochai Agbaji to compete for roster spot

The New York Knicks have signed guard Ochai Agbaji to an Exhibit 9 deal as they prepare for training camp ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season. Agbaji, a 6-foot-5 player, has played four seasons in the league with the Utah Jazz, Toronto Raptors, and Brooklyn Nets, averaging 7.2 points per game. He was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers as the 14th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft but was traded to the Jazz prior to his rookie season. Last season, Agbaji averaged 10.4 points while shooting nearly 40% from three-point range, although his shooting decreased to 26.6% during his time with the Nets. The Knicks are looking to leverage Agbaji's shooting potential to support star guard Jalen Brunson, who has been a key player for the team.
