J.P. Tokoto Released by New York Knicks

Posted Oct 22, 2016
J.P. Tokoto was released by the Knicks on Friday, Ian Begley of ESPN reports. Tokoto was one of the last picks in the 2015 NBA Draft after leaving North Carolina a year early and will now be looking for work after yet another cut. Tokoto could end up on the Knicks' D-League affiliate, but the worst case scenario for the high-flying guard is a spot with a team overseas. (CBS Sports)
