The Knicks did some end-of-roster maneuvering Tuesday.
They signed guard John Konchar and center Drew Eubanks to one-year deals, The Post confirmed.
Eubanks’ deal is nonguaranteed. It was not immediately clear whether Konchar’s is guaranteed.

If either makes the roster, it would bring the Knicks to the required minimum of 14 standard NBA contracts.
If it’s Konchar, though, it would leave them with only two true big men in Karl-Anthony Towns and Andre Drummond.
Teams are allowed up to 15 standard contracts, though the Knicks likely can’t reach that number and stay under the second apron.
Konchar, a 6-foot-5 defensive-minded guard, spent time with the Grizzlies and Jazz last year and averaged 4.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game.
For his career, the 30-year-old Konchar has shot 34.9 percent from 3-point range.

The Knicks lost much of their frontcourt depth this offseason with Mitchell Robinson and Ariel Hukporti signing with the Celtics and 76ers, respectively.
Training camp is set to begin Sept. 28.
The Knicks also signed 7-foot center Liam Robbins, who showed promise with the team at Summer League, to an Exhibit 10 contract.
He will battle for a two-way deal at training camp — the Knicks still have all three of their two-way slots available.
They announced the signings of Jaden Akins, Igor Milicic Jr., Mitchell Mascari, Toby Okani, Nick Jourdain and Paul Zilinskas to Exhibit 10 deals.

They were all subsequently waived, meaning they are likely headed to the Westchester Knicks in the G-League if they clear waivers.
These roster gymnastics allow the players to make a little extra money.
