Isaiah Roby: Parts ways with New York
Rotowire
Roby was waived by the Knicks on Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Roby was sidelined to close out last season due to an ankle injury, but he returned to action during Summer League play. He averaged 8.0 points and 2.5 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per game over two preseason appearances but wasn't able to secure a spot on the Knicks' final roster. He's played in at least 42 NBA games in three consecutive seasons, so it's possible he finds work elsewhere ahead of the 2023-24 campaign.
Roby is listed as out for Tuesday's Game 2 against the Cavaliers due to a right ankle sprain.
Roby continues to deal with an ankle injury. However, since he was signed after March 1, he isn't eligible to play in the postseason.

Knicks' Isaiah Roby: Inks deal with New York
Rotowire
Roby (ankle) agreed Sunday with the Knicks on a two-year contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
After spending his first three NBA seasons in Oklahoma City, Roby was claimed off waivers by the Spurs ahead of the 2022-23 campaign, posting 4.1 points and 2.5 rebounds in 11.3 minutes over 42 appearances (two starts). He was let go by San Antonio at the beginning of March after spraining his ankle, but he appears to be fine after signing a contract with the Knicks and going through a physical. Roby is ineligible to be part of New York's rotation in the playoffs since he was on another roster after March 1, per Fred Katz of The Athletic. However, Roby could get the chance to make his Knicks debut in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Pacers.

Spurs' Isaiah Roby: Drops season-high 14 points
Rotowire
Roby ended with 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and two assists over 21 minutes during Thursday's 138-100 loss to the Clippers.
Roby scored a season-high 14 points in the loss, logging in excess of 20 minutes for just the fourth time this season. It's been rough going for Roby since arriving in San Antonio, highlighted by the fact he has played in only three of the past nine games. While the trade deadline could open up a few more minutes, there is no point stashing him, given the Spurs' willingness to explore various playing groups on any given night.
Roby had three points (1-2 FG, 1-4 FT) and three rebounds across six minutes during Monday's 147-127 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Roby cracked the rotation for just the second time in the past two weeks, logging six uninspiring minutes. After a somewhat promising season in 2021-22, Roby has struggled to carve out a consistent role in San Antonio, currently sitting outside the top 400 in standard formats. Obviously, there is absolutely no reason for managers to pay any attention to him whatsoever at the present time.
