The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/new-york-knicks-depth-chart">New York Knicks</a> are back in the hunt for an addition to their roster after the team lost <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/ariel-hukporti/67938">Ariel Hukporti</a> to a torn meniscus. Following February 28, multiple avenues have opened up for Leon Rose and Tom Thibodeau to make a move that will help bolster the end of the bench for the Knicks down the stretch. Here's a look at the top five candidates that could be a good addition as the postseason looms.

5 Players the New York Knicks Should Sign With Their Open Roster Spot

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_23395451-scaled-e1740766339465-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/tj-warren/16399">T.J. Warren</a> was a name being monitored by the Knicks for a roster spot before the injury to <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/ariel-hukporti/67938">Ariel Hukporti</a>, which could lead to an increased likelihood of Warren getting the call-up. The former lottery pick has been drawing interest from NBA teams after putting up impressive numbers in the G-League for the Westchester Knicks, averaging 24.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists. Considering Warren used to be a more than viable NBA player, it wouldn't be a shock if the Knicks gave him a look to see what else he has left in the tank.

1) T.J. Warren, Westchester Knicks

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_23023773-scaled-e1740766378797-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/chuma-okeke/3308">Chuma Okeke</a> has made a name for himself as a key piece for the Knicks' G-League affiliate. The former first-round pick is averaging 18.2 points, eight rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game during his time in the G-League. Okeke could finally get the call he's been waiting on and take advantage of the team's available minutes if he can prove to contribute when his name is called upon.

2) F Chuma Okeke, Westchester Knicks

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_23135070-scaled-e1740766416287-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/oshae-brissett/3066">Oshae Brissett</a> was a key bench contributor for the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/boston-celtics-depth-chart">Boston Celtics</a> last season, serving as a spark plug off the bench when needed. The forward is very athletic, and his aggressiveness on the boards and defensive end is contagious. Brissett isn't a reliable shooter, but he can get the job done when left open, especially if he's been putting in the work while waiting for the right opportunity. The Syracuse product chose to test free agency instead of re-signing with the Celtics, hoping for a more significant role elsewhere, and while the Knicks may not offer the exact role he was seeking, a chance to make a run in the postseason could be enough at this point.

3) F Oshae Brissett, Free Agent

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_24866551-scaled-e1740766465466-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/mo-bamba/2882">Mo Bamba</a> found himself as the odd man out ahead of the trade deadline, being waived following a trade that brought the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/la-clippers-depth-chart">LA Clippers</a> to bring in additional help. Bamba, a former No. 6 overall pick in 2018, has yet to find his footing in the league after showing flashes of what he had to offer during his tenure with the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/depth-chart/orlando-magic-depth-chart">Orlando Magic</a>. And while he hasn't developed into the star many people believed he could be in the draft process, the seven-footer is the type of rim runner and shot blocker the Knicks could use for depth in the frontcourt.

4) C Mo Bamba, Free Agent

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/USATSI_21985989-scaled-e1740766518405-768x432.jpg

<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nba/players/robert-covington/2871">Robert Covington</a> could be an ideal route for the Knicks if they wanted to bring in a serviceable veteran who could provide experience on the bench and solid minutes if called upon. The 34-year-old has served as a solid role player for multiple teams throughout his 15-year career, and while he remains a free agent, he has gone on record that he is still training and waiting for the right opportunity. Although Covington is likely the least likely of these choices, he's arguably one of the best veteran forwards on the market.

5) F Robert Covington, Free Agent

The Knicks emphasize utilizing Karl-Anthony Towns more against the Pistons with the series tied at 1-1, facing a challenging Game Three in Detroit tonight.
