However, he has now been waived by the team (via the G League's official transaction page).

Via @GleagueFan: "Looks like Allonzo Trier didn’t make the final roster for Rio Grande Valley since rosters can only have 10 G-League players on a roster at the max. He can become a free agent and be picked up by any other team that has a spot open"

Trier played his college basketball for the Arizona Wildcats.

He has spent two seasons in the NBA with the Knicks and was a fan-favorite during his short stint with the organization.

His career averages are 9.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per contest while shooting 45.4% from the field and 38.4% from the three-point range in 88 games.

Trier is still in the prime of his career at 28, so he will be a name to watch going forward.
