New York Knicks ink Kevin McCullar Jr., 2024 second-round pick, to two-way deal

The Knicks have officially secured forward Kevin McCullar Jr. with a two-way contract.

McCullar Jr., 23, was selected by the Knicks with the No. 56 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, following a trade with the Phoenix Suns.

After scoring a career-best 18.3 points per game during his final season at Kansas, McCullar Jr. was held out of Knicks Summer League play as he continued to rehab a bone bruise in his knee that he suffered with the Jayhawks.

Listed at 6-foot-7, McCullar Jr. joins fellow second-round draft pick Ariel Hukporti as two-way players for the Knicks, who still have a third such spot open.
