Opening Night Roster

NEW YORK – November 7, 2023 – The Westchester Knicks, the official NBA G League affiliate of the New York Knicks, announce their opening day roster on Thursday. 

The 13-man roster features several new faces heading into the 2024-25 NBA G League Tip-Off Tournament, including many with NBA level experience. NBA Veteran T.J. Warren, along with Chuma Okeke and Moses Brown enter the season as affiliate players for the club. Landry Shamet also joins the team after being drafted in the NBA G League Draft with the second overall pick by Westchester. 

Alex O’Connell, Damion Baugh, and Donovan Williams were all acquired in offseason moves for their returning rights. O’Connell’s returning rights were acquired last year (Sept. 15, 2023) from the Stockton Kings, while Baugh and Williams were acquired in separate deals made this offseason. 

Two-Way Players include New York Knicks rookie Kevin McCullar Jr. (Kansas), Boo Buie (Northwestern), and Jacob Toppin (returning for his second season). 

In addition, 2023-24 selection in the NBA G League Draft Jamal Bey (19th overall), 2023-24 International Draft Pick Abdullah Ahmed (6th Overall), and Kaiden Rice after a successful 2023-24 local tryout all return this season as returning rights players. 

The team tips-off the season against the Long Island Nets on Nov. 10 at 3 p.m. ET., to kickstart a four-game road trip. The Westchester Knicks home opener is on Thursday, on Nov. 21 at 7.00 p.m. ET at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, NY.
