The Knicks waived Toppin on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Toppin signed a two-way contract with the club during the offseason, though the Knicks will let go of both him and Matt Ryan in order to explore other options for their two open two-way spots. The two-way forward saw the majority of his playing time with the G League's Westchester Knicks, and he averaged 24.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.7 steals across 37.1 minutes per game in 15 G League outings.

Toppin racked up one rebound and two assists across two minutes during Monday's 126-106 win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Toppin saw court time for just the ninth time this season, logging two minutes during garbage time. To this point, all of his playing time has come in the final moments of games, indicating he is buried on the depth chart, to the point where he is spending more time cheering on his teammates than actually playing.

Toppin (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Toppin missed back-to-back games to end the preseason schedule but will be available for the regular-season opener. With Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) sidelined to start the campaign, Toppin could carve out a decent reserve role behind Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby in New York's already depleted frontcourt.

Toppin (ankle) did not play in Friday's preseason finale versus the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Toppin's absence marks two straight to close out the Knicks' preseason due to a sprained ankle. New York does not tip its regular season off until Tuesday in Boston, so he will have a few more days to recover. He is competing for a depth role at forward with the club.

Toppin signed a two-way contract with the Knicks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Knicks extended a qualifying offer to Toppin in late June, and he'll officially remain with the team as a two-way player. Toppin appeared in nine regular-season games for the parent club last year and averaged just 1.4 points in 4.2 minutes per game. It wouldn't be surprising to see him spend plenty of time in the G League once again this year.

The Knicks extended their two-way qualifying offer to Toppin on Saturday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toppin was a non-factor for the Knicks last season, during which he averaged 1.4 points and 0.8 rebounds across 4.2 minutes in nine regular-season games. However, the 24-year-old averaged 19.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.1 blocks across 36.7 minutes per game with the team's G League affiliate. Toppin has shown promise, but he will likely not see a significant uptick in NBA playing time next season.

Toppin agreed to a two-way contract with New York on Monday, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toppin's 10-day contract with the Knicks expired over the weekend, but he didn't last long on the open market. He figures to serve as frontcourt depth and should also see plenty of opportunities to stay sharp in the G League with the Westchester Knicks.

Toppin became a free agent Saturday after his 10-day contract with the Knicks expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toppin has been a member of the Knicks' roster all season, but he was recently moved off a two-way deal to a 10-day contract. The Knicks will have the option of retaining Toppin on a second 10-day pact, but it's unclear if they'll do so or if they'll look to use the open roster spot on another player. Toppin has appeared in just eight games at the NBA level this season, averaging 1.6 points and 0.9 rebounds in 4.6 minutes.
