New York has added Tony Bradley, a 28-year-old center with eight seasons of NBA experience. The team confirmed the move as an Exhibit 9 contract.

The transaction reflects the ongoing roster churn typical of the NBA's offseason and preseason calendar, though the provided details do not specify Konchar's contract status or Bradley's expected role.
