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)
