The Knicks have signed free agent guard Damion Baugh to an Exhibit 10 contract, the team announced (via Twitter).
Baugh, 24, was in training camp with the Lakers last fall on an Exhibit 10 deal. He was waived before the start of the season and played for the team’s G League affiliate in South Bay, where he averaged 9.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 37 games.
Baugh joined the Lakers last summer after going undrafted out of Texas Christian. He played two seasons at Memphis before transferring to the Horned Frogs.
Baugh will likely end up with the Knicks’ G League affiliate in Westchester, where he can earn a bonus of up to $77.5K if he remains there at least 60 days.
The addition of Baugh, combined with New York’s other moves today, gives the team 19 players under contract, with T.J. Warren expected to fill one of the two remaining openings on the 21-man preseason roster.
