OK, the Knicks are ready to start the season. At least numerically.
The Knicks waived 6-7 forward Troy Williams on Monday, and the move brought them down to 15 players under contract plus a pair of two-way contract players, the maximum allowed for Opening Night.
Williams, 23, joined the Knicks last season on the first of two 10-day contracts in February and signed through the end of the season with a partial guarantee for the upcoming campaign.
He played in 17 games, started one, and averaged 7.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in 17.1 minutes. He infused the team with a jolt of athleticism, which was pretty much as rare as victories around the Garden in 2017-18.
