Windler was added to the Knicks' 15-man roster Saturday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Windler's two-way contract was converted into a one year, non-guaranteed pact with New York. Windler was a first-round pick by the Cavs in 2019 but has since battled a series of foot and ankle injuries that have limited his availability and development. Over the last four seasons, Windler appeared in only 84 total games.

Windler (foot) was a full participant to start Knicks training camp Tuesday, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

He was able to log 11 G League contests in 2022-23, averaging 12.2 points and 5.9 rebounds on 52.3 percent shooting from the field and 40.7 percent from three. Windler, Jaylen Martin and Nathan Knight represent the Knicks' two-way signings and will compete for third-string forward minutes.

The Knicks signed Windler (foot) to a two-way contract Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Windler dealt with numerous injuries during the 2022-23 campaign and appeared in just three NBA contests after playing in 50 games a year prior. The 2019 first-round pick struggled to carve out a role across four years in Cleveland, mostly due to injuries, and wasn't extended a qualifying offer this summer. The 6-foot-6 shooting guard will likely spend most of the 2023-24 campaign in the G League with the Westchester Knicks.

Windler (foot) wasn't extended a qualifying offer from the Cavaliers ahead of Thursday's deadline, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Windler was limited to just three games during the 2022-23 season due to injuries, a trend that has plagued the first few years of his NBA career. The Cavaliers had the option to make him a restricted free agent, but he'll instead be free to seek out other opportunities as an unrestricted free agent.

As expected, Windler, who appeared in just three regular-season games, will be sidelined for a second straight contest to start postseason play. Even if the Belmont product is cleared to suit up moving forward, he presumably wouldn't factor into the Cavaliers' playoff rotation.
