Knicks bring back Jacob Toppin.

The younger brother of former Knicks lottery pick Obi Toppin agreed to a two-way contract, the team announced Wednesday.

The 6-foot-8 Toppin appeared in just nine regular-season games with the Knicks last year, but he averaged 19.8 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 25 games with the Westchester Knicks in the G-League.

The former Kentucky forward is still a developmental player.
