Official waiver in New York
The New York Knicks have waived center Liam Robbins, effective September 16, removing him from the main NBA roster after a waiver transaction that confirms his immediate exit from the franchise. The move is official and fits the usual training-camp routine for players tied to G League affiliate Westchester Knicks.
The transaction appears in NBA.com oficial and was reported by TalkBasket, which places the cut on September 16, one day after New York signed him to an Exhibit 10 contract.
Robbins profile
Robbins, a 7-foot center and 27-year-old, played five games for the Knicks in summer league with 9.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in 18.5 minutes per game. In the 2024-25 season he appeared in 13 NBA games for the Milwaukee Bucks on a two-way deal and spent the previous year in the G League with Rip City Remix, averaging 8.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in 18 minutes.
TalkBasket notes that the waiver does not break New York project continuity: Robbins fits the Exhibit 10 sign-and-waive routine of players who pass through the main preseason roster before continuing their development with the affiliate.
What the waiver means
By leaving the main roster, Robbins no longer occupies a training-camp spot and becomes a free agent until his next step within the Knicks ecosystem is defined. The most likely scenario leads to the Westchester Knicks, where he could follow the Exhibit 10 pathway.
For New York, the cut fits the development structure the Knicks are consolidating with all three two-way spots still open, prioritizing G League rights control rather than locking roster spots on the main NBA team.
Roster context
Robbins waiver comes within a procedural wave involving several camp players signed and cut within hours. The transaction repeats the dynamic the Knicks have used this September to keep development profiles under control without committing main-roster spots.
