The New York Knicks have waived Jaylen Martin from his two-way contract. New York did this to create roster space to sign Dmytro Skapintsev to a two-way deal. Skapintsev was added to provide center depth, with Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims both injured.

Martin did not appear in an NBA game this season. The 6-foot-6 wing played in 16 games with the Westchester Knicks of the G League. Martin averaged 9.7 points and 2.9 rebounds for the G League Knicks.

The New York Knicks have agreed to a two-way contract with center Dmytro Skapintsev. New York was looking for additional center depth with both Mitchell Robinson and Jericho Sims out with injuries. They found it with Skapintsev, who has been with the Westchester Knicks of the G League this season.

The 7-foot-1 center has played in 55 games for the G League Knicks over the past two seasons. Skapintsev is averaging 5.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 18.6 minutes per game this season.

It was recently reported that New York applied for a Disabled Player Exception for Robinson. That would mean that the Knicks believe their starting center will miss the remainder of the season following ankle surgery. In addition to Robinson being out, Jericho Sims went down with a sprained ankle earlier in the week. That left New York with only Isaiah Hartenstein and the recently added Taj Gibson at the five.

The Westchester Knicks won the 2023 G League Winter Showcase on Friday. The G League Knicks defeated the Indiana Mad Ants 107-99 to take home the Showcase Cup.

Brandon Goodwin was named the MVP of the Showcase. The veteran guard had 13 points and 13 assists in the final game.
