James White's agent said it's "unlikely" his client will return to the Knicks.
We'll file that under "obvious." White was glued to the bench for the majority of the season and it's not clear how he lasted with the team for the entire year. White's $1 million option is expected to be declined, and it's possible he'll go back overseas if he can't garner an offer in the NBA. May 22 - 8:15 AM

James White - G/F - Knicks

James White will be deactivated for Tuesday's Game 4 vs. the Pacers.

This will have no impact on the outcome of the game, but it could be a sign that J.R. Smith (illness) is expected to play.

James White - G/F - Knicks

James White got his 15th start of the season on Monday and scored a career-high 15 points with seven boards, six assists, one steal, one block and one 3-pointer in 43 minutes.

We recapped his goose egg yesterday just to give everyone a heads up that he could have a nice game today and he didn't disappoint. If the Knicks rest everyone again on Wednesday, White could score in the teens and might be a spot-start again for deep leagues.

James White - G/F - Knicks

James White didn't score in his three minutes of action on Sunday.

The Knicks are going to rest some guys, so this is just a heads up for deep-league owners looking for an extra spot-start on Monday. He will likely get 20 minutes vs. Charlotte. Adjust accordingly.

James White - G/F - Knicks

The Knicks could cut or buy out James White in order to add another point guard to the roster, a source told ESPN New York.

The report throws out names like Delonte West and Sundiata Gaines, but it doesn't sound like anything is imminent at this time. Apparently, the Knicks need a fourth point guard to add to the mix of Raymond Felton, Jason Kidd and Pablo Prigioni.

James White - G/F - Knicks

League sources confirm to ESPN NY's Jared Zwerling that James White will participate in the dunk contest during All-Star weekend.

White's dunking skills are the stuff of YouTube legend. He might be the prohibitive favorite heading into the contest even if returning champ Jeremy Evans participates this year. Hopefully White's mind-bending athleticism will finally help make the dunk contest watchable again, but we're not holding our breath.

James White - G/F - Knicks

James White will get the start Thursday night against the Celtics.

With Ronnie Brewer out of the rotation, the Knicks have been experimenting with their starting lineups until Raymond Felton (pinkie) returns. White is expected to match up with Paul Pierce while Carmelo Anthony slides over to PF and matches up with, you guessed it, Kevin Garnett.

James White - G/F - Knicks

James White will make his third start at shooting guard on the season for the Knicks on Friday.

Ronnie Brewer played just eight minutes on Thursday and he hasn't really done much to deserve the starting distinction he held to this point. James White has very little fantasy value in even the deepest of leagues.

James White - G/F - Knicks

James White will start at shooting guard in Friday's game against the Bulls.

It looks like Mike Woodson has seen enough of Ronnie Brewer for now. White goes from a DNP-CD on Thursday to a starting role Friday. In two starts earlier this year, the journeyman defensive specialist averaged 3.0 points in 13.6 minutes.

James White - G/F - Knicks

James White and J.R. Smith could each see minutes at point guard with Raymond Felton (pinkie) sidelined.

Mike Woodson said that Pablo Prigioni's minutes "probably have to go up a little bit," but that's an obvious statement. Woodson knows he can't play Jason Kidd heavy minutes consistently, and said the team will "mix and match" in order to find the best balance while Felton is hurt.

James White is over the foot injury that limited him in the preseason.

It would be shocking to see him earn a consistent role in the rotation at any point.

James White left Wednesday's game with a foot injury and did not return.

The Knicks called it a sore left foot for White, but the swingman said he'd be ready for the opener. The injuries are quickly piling up in New York with less than a week until the regular season.

James White - G/F - Knicks

With the Knicks resting nearly all of their veterans, swingman James White logged 45 minutes, scoring 16 points with four rebounds, five steals and five turnovers.

It's almost impossible to make anything of this fluke game, in which both teams rested tons of players, though we can say that White's hamstring injury is behind him. He could chisel his way into the bench rotation but there's too much competition to expect more than spot minutes.

James White - G/F - Knicks

James White got the start at SG for the Knicks on Saturday, but was held to just four points and seven rebounds in 25 minutes.

White shot 1-of-7 from the field and didn't do anything to improve his bid for the starting job, which Mychel Thompson had occupied until tonight. J.R. Smith could end up starting, and Ronnie Brewer and Iman Shumpert will further complicate matters once they're healthy.

James White - G/F - Knicks

James White (hamstring) returned to practice on Friday.

White should be able to play in Friday's preseason game, where he will have a chance to show that he can start at SG until the Knicks get healthier at the position.
