New York, NY – The New York Knicks have signed veteran point guard Beno Udrih to a reported one-year contract, the team announced Thursday.
According to Newsday, the deal is for the veteran's minimum of $1.272 million.
Udrih split the 2012-13 season, his ninth in the NBA, between Milwaukee and Orlando and averaged 8.2 points, 4.6 assists and 2.1 rebounds over a combined 66 games.
The 31-year-old Slovenian lends further experience to the backcourt, where the Knicks are also bringing back point guards Raymond Felton and Pablo Prigioni.
