Waiver effective in New York
The New York Knicks have waived N'Faly Dante effective September 30. The move is already listed as effective: it is an official roster exit, not a pending negotiation, and the center leaves the first team ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The transaction is listed in NBA.com oficial and was detailed by RealGM, which framed the exit within the training-camp series of moves announced by the team. None of the references published salary figures, a detailed length or contract clauses.
N'Faly Dante profile and fit
N'Faly Dante, a center, arrived in New York on a non-guaranteed training-camp deal to compete for interior depth. His profile offered size and presence around the rim without tying up a standard roster spot.
What it means for the roster
For New York, the immediate effect is an open training-camp spot within a reshuffle that includes Jaden Akins on a two-way contract and Tony Bradley on a camp deal, plus the move with Toby Okani directed toward Westchester. Dante becomes a free agent and the club has not announced a further step directly linked to this exit.
