The Knicks announced Wednesday that they have signed Washington (thumb) to a two-way contract.
EDGE Analysis
Washington was waived by the Knicks in November after suffering a right thumb injury that was expected to keep him out 6-8 weeks. However, with his thumb presumably being healed, Washington will rejoin New York on a two-way deal. The 23-year-old guard averaged 27.3 points, 6.3 assists and 4.3 rebounds for the Westchester Knicks of the G League before being let go.

Washington (thumb) was waived by the Knicks on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Knicks will part ways with Washington after he was diagnosed over the weekend with a significant right thumb injury that will likely keep him out for around two months. New York will sign forward Jaylen Martin to fill their open two-way roster spot.

The Knicks announced Sunday that Washington is dealing with a right thumb injury and will be re-evaluated in 6-to-8 weeks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Washington has played exclusively for the G League's Westchester Knicks this season while occupying one of New York's three two-way spots. He had missed game action of late for Westchester due to what was believed to be an illness, but the young guard is evidently dealing with a more serious injury that will likely keep him out until around at least mid-January.

Washington agreed to a two-way contract with the Knicks on Sunday, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Washington has shown some flashes as a scorer across parts of two seasons with Indiana and Phoenix, but his contributions in other areas have been limited. The 23-year-old joins Charlie Brown and Jacob Toppin as New York's three two-way players for the upcoming season. Washington is likely to see the majority of his playing time with the G League's Westchester Knicks in 2023-24.

The Knicks announced Saturday that Washington has been waived.
EDGE Analysis
Washington put pen to paper on a training camp deal at the beginning of August, but he was unable to secure a roster spot. He appeared in 31 games a season ago with Phoenix, putting up 7.9 points, 1.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 12.7 minutes per contest.

Washington signed a training camp contract with the Knicks on Sunday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Knicks announced the signing Sunday, but they didn't immediately disclose the terms of the deal. After appearing in 31 games (three starts) with the Suns, Washington joined New York in February, but he never appeared in a game for the Knicks. The Ohio State product will now have an uphill battle during training camp, as New York has a crowded backcourt that features Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Immanuel Quickley, Donte DiVincenzo, Quentin Grimes and Miles McBride.

Washington signed a contract with the Knicks on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
While the terms of the deal were not disclosed, it appears the Knicks signed Washington to a standard contract, as Dylan Windler, Nathan Knight and Jaylen Martin occupy New York's three two-way deals. After appearing in 31 games (three starts) with the Suns, Washington joined the Knicks in February, but he never saw any game action with New York. He'll have a difficult time carving out a role in a crowded backcourt that includes Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Immanuel Quickley, Miles McBride, Donte DiVincenzo and Quentin Grimes.

The Knicks waived Washington on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Washington appeared in 31 games (three starts) with the Suns last year, posting 7.9 points in 12.7 minutes, but he was let go and joined New York on a two-way deal in February. However, the combo guard never saw any game action for the Knicks. The Ohio State product has solid NBA experience (79 appearances over two seasons), but he may have to settle for an Exhibit 10 deal before training camp.

Washington (hip) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 clash against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Washington sat out the regular-season finale due to a hip injury, but it appears that absence was merely precautionary. While he'll be available, the undrafted product out of Ohio State is not expected to be part of the Knicks' postseason rotation.

Washington (hip) will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Washington hasn't played in a game since Jan. 26, and it's unclear exactly when he will be cleared to don the uniform. Even if that occurs in the playoffs, Washington doesn't figure to be a major rotation factor.
