The Knicks are adding MarJon Beauchamp on a two-way contract, ESPN’s Shams Charania tweets.
Beauchamp was waived by the Clippers on Saturday in order to promote Jordan Miller to a standard contract. The Knicks opened up a pair of two-way slots by waiving Matt Ryan and Jacob Toppin on Sunday.
The 24th overall pick in 2022, Beauchamp has struggled to establish himself as a reliable NBA rotation player. He has averaged 4.2 PPG and 1.9 RPG in 129 career contests (11.2 MPG).
The 6’7″ forward spent his first two-and-a-half NBA seasons with the Bucks, then was traded from Milwaukee to Los Angeles at the deadline in exchange for Kevin Porter Jr. Beauchamp came off the bench in 26 contests with the Bucks this season before he was dealt and made three limited appearances with the Clippers.
According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks (Twitter link), he’s eligible to be active for 12 of the Knicks’ 22 remaining regular-season games.
Kevin McCullar holds the Knicks’ other two-way contract.
During his draft. I knew Thibs liked him for his D. Thibs also like Johnny Davis. They’re in a good place to grow. Wish them both luck.
