The day after the New York Knicks traded for Karl-Anthony Towns, the team waived Marcus Morris Sr. and Chuma Okeke. The Knicks re-offered Morris a training camp deal, but he turned it down. Morris will have a higher chance of making another team's final roster. New York waived Morris and Okeke so the KAT trade would work financially.
According to The Athletic's James L. Edwards III, the Knicks extended the same camp invite to Okeke. Unlike Morris, Okeke accepted. The guard will participate in the remainder of training camp.
