Matt Ryan: Get cut loose

The Knicks waived Ryan on Sunday.

New York freed up two of its two-way spots Sunday by cutting Ryan and forward Jacob Toppin, the latter of whom had already been active for the maximum 50 games at the NBA level this season. The 27-year-old Ryan, meanwhile, saw action in 19 games for the Knicks, averaging 1.5 points across 3.5 minutes per game.
