Konchar agreed to a one-year deal with the Knicks on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Konchar is set to provide wing depth for the Knicks in 2026-27 after being traded to the Timberwolves and subsequently getting waived in late August. The veteran forward appeared in 56 regular-season outings (eight starts) between Memphis and Utah last season, during which he averaged 4.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.7 blocks in 19.9 minutes per tilt.

Gill agreed to a one-year deal with the Wizards on Tuesday, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com reports.

Gill is set to play for the Wizards for a seventh straight season. The 33-year-old will offer the club frontcourt depth and a veteran presence in the locker room, but he isn't guaranteed a steady role. Over 55 regular-season appearances (eight starts) last season, he averaged 5.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists while shooting a career-best 62.8 percent from the field in 17.3 minutes per game.

Waters signed a contract with the Beijing Ducks on Tuesday, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.

After playing for four NBA teams over the past three years, Waters will join the Chinese Basketball Association. Over 40 regular-season appearances with the Spurs in 2025-26, he averaged 2.4 points while shooting 37.5 percent from the field in 7.1 minutes per contest.

Grill agreed to a training camp contract with the Celtics on Monday, Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot reports.

After joining the Celtics for Summer League, Grill is set to compete for a spot on Boston's regular-season roster. The 26-year-old guard appeared in 41 G League outings between the Windy City Bulls and Greensboro Swarm last season, averaging 9.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.0 assists across 24.4 minutes per tilt.

The Clippers and Raptors mutually agreed Monday to complete the trade sending Leonard to Toronto in exchange for Brandon Ingram (heel), Gradey Dick, two unprotected first-round picks, one first-round pick swap and two second-rounders, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The trade hit a snag in July when the league investigated Leonard and the Clippers for salary cap circumvention, but the deal is now official ahead of training camp. The 2023 first-rounder is searching for a fresh start in Los Angeles after averaging 6.0 points and 1.9 rebounds in 14.0 minutes per game across 76 regular-season appearances (one start) for the Raptors last year.

The Clippers and Raptors both agreed Monday to finalize the trade sending Kawhi Leonard to Toronto for Ingram (heel), Gradey Dick, two unprotected first-round picks, one first-round pick swap and two second-rounders, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The deal, which was agreed to in principle June 30, was held up over two months due to the league's investigation involving salary-cap circumvention by Leonard and the Clippers. Ingram underwent surgery in early May to address ongoing right heel pain, so his health will be worth monitoring when he reports to Los Angeles' training camp later in September.

The Clippers and Raptors both agreed Monday to complete the trade sending Leonard to Toronto for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, two unprotected first-round picks, one first-round pick swap and two second-rounders, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Over two months after the deal was initially agreed upon, it will finally be processed following the NBA's investigation of salary-cap circumvention involving Leonard and the Clippers. The star forward is coming off one of the best seasons of his storied career in 2025-26 with Los Angeles, having averaged 27.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game over 65 regular-season appearances.

Carter agreed to a deal with the Celtics on Monday, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com reports.

This appears to be an Exhibit 10 deal, as Scotto notes that Carter will compete for an NBA roster or two-way contract in training camp. Across 38 regular-season games for the Kings in 2025-26, Carter averaged 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

Gordon (calf) said he got his mind and body right during the offseason, and he's "ready to go" for the 2026-27 season, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Gordon labored through a left calf issue during Denver's postseason run last spring, missing three of the Nuggets' final four games in their first-round loss to the Timberwolves. However, he's had plenty of time to recover, and it appears he'll enter training camp at 100 percent. Gordon averaged 27.9 minutes per game last season over 36 regular-season contests, but his playing time could dip this upcoming season due to the arrival of DeMar DeRozan.

Philon faces plenty of competition for minutes and an uncertain role heading into his rookie campaign, per Adam Aaronson of PhillyVoice.com.

Selected with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Philon will likely have to impress to take on a steady role after the 76ers added Jaylen Brown, LeBron James, Anfernee Simons, Dean Wade and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (finger) this offseason. Philon will need to prove he can be effective off the ball to see meaningful burn on a nightly basis during his rookie season, as the 76ers have plenty of ball-handlers ahead of him. The 20-year-old's off-ball movement and ability to hit catch-and-shoot threes could play a large part in his playing time, considering the Sixers also have Simons to handle the rock off the bench. Philon will also have to hold his own defensively to stay on the court. He earned All-SEC First Team honors with Alabama in 2025-26, averaging 22.0 points, 5.0 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals while shooting 50.1 percent from the field and 39.9 percent from beyond the arc in 30.9 minutes per game.
