The Knicks are waiving center Moses Brown, Shams Charania of The Athletic tweets. They’ll replace him by bringing back guard Trevor Keels on a two-way contract, Steve Popper of Newsday tweets.
The Knicks have made the moves official, announcing them in a press release, Popper adds in a separate tweet.
Keels appeared in two games with the NBA’s Knicks this season, most recently on March 1. Keels was on a two-way contract with New York, then was signed to a standard 10-day contract on Feb. 23.
Brown was signed to a two-way contract on Wednesday. Brown appeared in one game for the G League’s Westchester Knicks, where he enjoyed an 18-point, 17-rebound game.
Keels has spent most of the season with the Westchester club. The second-round pick out of Duke has averaged 15 points and 3.4 assists in 22 games with the NBAGL squad.
Brown, a 23-year-old center, began this season on a two-way contract with the Clippers. He appeared in 34 games, averaging 4.6 points and 4.1 rebounds in 8.5 minutes per night, before being waived on February 17.
Brown began his NBA career with the Trail Blazers in 2019 after going undrafted out of UCLA. He also had short stays with the Thunder, Mavericks and Cavaliers.
The Knicks had a two-way slot open after promoting DaQuan Jeffries to a 10-day contract a week ago.

It’s usually Moses that does the parting.

He had 1 game with the g league in which he had 17 and 18 and they decide to waive him…
It’s likely that, when the music stops, Keels and Jeffries will be back on 2 way deals, and Washington and Brown on standard deals.
Brown deserves to play. Someone will pick him. Stay dedicated ….
