Knicks waive Drew Eubanks, James Wiseman favored for center role

The New York Knicks waived Drew Eubanks following a torn pectoral muscle, which ends his chance at a roster spot. James Wiseman is now positioned as the leading candidate for the backup center position behind Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond. Eubanks’ injury leaves the Knicks with limited options as Mitchell Robinson is now with the Boston Celtics. Wiseman distinguished himself with a solid performance in a recent game, scoring 18 points and collecting 10 rebounds. The Knicks are under pressure to finalize their roster before the season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday.
