Knicks Add Yabusele, Clarkson in Free Agency

The New York Knicks have signed forward Guerschon Yabusele to a two-year, $12 million contract with a player option for the second year, following his strong season with the Philadelphia 76ers and standout play for France in the 2024 Olympics. Yabusele averaged 11.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and shot 38% from three-point range last season. The Knicks have also agreed to terms with veteran guard Jordan Clarkson, who will join on a veteran's minimum deal after a buyout with the Utah Jazz, providing additional scoring off the bench after averaging 16.2 points in a shortened, injury-affected season. These moves strengthen New York’s roster depth and versatility as the team looks to build on its recent Eastern Conference Finals run. The Knicks are reportedly interested in acquiring Phoenix Suns center Nick Richards as a possible backup or replacement for Mitchell Robinson. These strategic signings and pursuits signal the Knicks' continued intent to contend in the upcoming NBA season.
