The Knicks signed Toppin to a 10-day contract Thursday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toppin had been occupying one of the Knicks' three two-way slots, but he'll now move on to the 15-man roster along with fellow 10-day signee DaQuan Jeffries prior to Thursday's game in Philadelphia. The undrafted rookie out of Kentucky is averaging just 2.6 points and 1.2 rebounds in 6.6 minutes across his five NBA appearances so far in 2023-24 and may continue to see most of his time in the G League with the Westchester Knicks, despite the fact that he's no longer a two-way player.

Toppin (undisclosed) is healthy for the start of New York's training camp Tuesday, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Toppin dealt with an undisclosed injury that caused him to miss Summer League, but the 23-year-old now carries no injury designation. After going undrafted in June, Toppin signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Knicks and is likely to spend most of 2023-24 with New York's G League affiliate.

Toppin (undisclosed) will join the Knicks on an Exhibit 10 deal rather than a two-way contract in advance of training camp, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Toppin had been expected to join the Knicks for the Las Vegas Summer League, but an unspecified injury will keep him off the court throughout July. The undrafted rookie out of Kentucky should be back to full health for camp, but he won't be filling one of the Knicks' three two-way spots, as Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN had reported shortly after the draft concluded. The Knicks will still retain Toppin's rights through the Exhibit 10 deal, so he'll presumably join the organization's G League affiliate in Westchester if he fails to secure a 15-man roster spot coming out of training camp.

Toppin isn't on the Knicks' Summer League roster due to a "minor injury," Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The exact nature of Toppin's injury hasn't been disclosed, but it's hindering him enough to keep him off the team's Summer League roster. He signed a two-way contract with the Knicks in late June and will attempt to compete for a role with the team once he's back to full health.
