Knicks sign Trey Jemison III, Tosan Evbuomwan to two-way contracts

The Knicks have signed center Trey Jemison III and forward Tosan Evbuomwan to two-way contracts, sources tell SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley. 

Jemison, a 6-foot-11, 270-pound big man, will provide New York with some additional front-court depth.

Evbuomwan's signing was originally announced on Tuesday as an Exhibit 10 contract, but Begley reported it will be a two-way deal.

Jemison, 25, has appeared in 63 NBA games (14 starts) with four organizations over the past two seasons. He played 22 games with the Lakers and 16 games with the Pelicans a year ago, averaging 10.3 minutes with 2.5 points and 2.8 rebounds during his time with both franchises.

The center saw his most extensive action with the Memphis Grizzlies during the 2023-24 season, making 14 starts out of 23 appearances, averaging 7.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 1.2 assists in 24.9 minutes. He went undrafted in 2003 out of UAB, appearing for the Suns' Summer League squad before latching on with the New Orleans Pelicans' G League affiliate.

Evbuomwan, 24, has made 45 career appearances over the past two seasons, including eight starts. He last played with the Nets during the 2024-25 season, averaging 9.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 23.8 minutes off the bench. The 6-foot-8 forward went undrafted out of Princeton in 2023.

The Knicks will enter the preseason with two players signed to two-way contracts. (NBA teams are allowed to carry a maximum of three players on two-way deals.) Kevin McCullar Jr. is expected to return on a two-way deal to fill the final spot, Begley noted.
