Here’s what people were saying about the news:

@MCohenSports07: “Sellers is now the fourth Johnnie from the 2025-26 roster to be playing in Summer League.”

@albertoeghim: “I’ve seen a lot of Oziyah Sellers over the years. One of the prettiest jumpers you’ll see.”

@KnicksVerseFr (translated to English): “A new signee but this time for the Summer League: Oziyah Sellers, 22 years old, Guard/forward from St. John’s, shooter capable of stretching the floor, will be one to watch.”

While it would take a lot for Sellers to make the roster, he will be fun for Knicks fans to watch in Las Vegas.

There is always the possibility that a player’s performance at Summer League could lead to a two-way deal.
