Knicks Sign Matt Ryan to Add Depth

The New York Knicks have signed sharpshooter Matt Ryan, who shot 45.1% from three-point range last season with the New Orleans Pelicans, as part of their efforts to bolster roster depth. Ryan, a New York native, has previously played for the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, and Minnesota Timberwolves, and is expected to fill a bench role to support the team amid injuries to key players. The Knicks, currently tied for third in the Eastern Conference with a 3-2 record, are also converting rookie center Ariel Hukporti's two-way deal to a standard contract, showcasing their commitment to developing young talent. With Ryan's signing, the Knicks aim to enhance their already strong three-point shooting performance. Coach Tom Thibodeau has been managing a limited rotation, making Ryan's addition timely as they seek more scoring options off the bench.
