Official waiver in New York
The New York Knicks have waived guard Mitchell Mascari, effective September 15, removing him from the main NBA roster after a sign-and-waive transaction that does not change the franchise current roster count. The move confirms his immediate exit from the team 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 RealGM, which places the cut within the same September 15 wave in which New York also waived Jaden Akins, Nick Jourdain, Toby Okani, Igor Miličić Jr. and Paul Zilinskas.
Mascari profile
Mascari, a 6-foot-5 guard and 26-year-old, went undrafted out of Drake and has built his professional career primarily in the G League. Last season he appeared in 48 games for the Stockton Kings, averaging 8.5 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 19.6 minutes on 42.5 percent shooting from three.
Westchester had already acquired his G League rights earlier in September, and the Knicks signed him to an Exhibit 10 deal before the waiver. RealGM notes that the cut does not break New York project continuity: Mascari fits the Exhibit 10 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, Mascari 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 two open roster spots and other preseason moves underway, with training camp scheduled for late September.
Roster context
Mascari move comes alongside five other players for whom the Knicks used the same sign-and-waive pattern. The transaction repeats the dynamic New York has used this September to secure rights in Westchester rather than lock roster spots on the main NBA team.
