Knicks
Jordan Clarkson is coming back to the defending champs.
According to the New York Post’s Stefan Bondy and ESPN’s Shams Charania, Clarkson has agreed to return to the Knicks on a one-year, $3.9 million contract.
It’ll be another minimum deal for the veteran guard, allowing New York to stay below the second tax apron while keeping together much of the bench that helped fuel last season’s championship run.
Clarkson’s numbers dipped in 2025-26, as he averaged 8.6 points in 17.8 minutes, but he accepted an inconsistent role and gave the Knicks another scoring option off the bench whenever his number was called.
New York has now re-signed Landry Shamet, Jose Alvarado, Mohamed Diawara and Clarkson this offseason, while losing only center Mitchell Robinson in free agency.
Pistons
The Pistons have filled their final two-way roster spot by signing guard Elijah Harkless, per Hoops Rumors.
Harkless spent the past season and a half with the Jazz, appearing in 36 NBA games while also putting up big numbers in the G League. He averaged 25.3 points and 5.0 assists with the Salt Lake City Stars and earned a reputation as a tough, versatile defender during his time in Utah.
He joins Isaac Jones and rookie Ugonna Onyenso as Detroit’s current two-way players.
NBA Free Agency
After seven NBA seasons, Amir Coffey is heading overseas.
The former Clippers, Bucks and Suns wing has signed a one-year contract with Hapoel Tel Aviv in Israel.
Coffey spent most of his NBA career with the Clippers after entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2019. He averaged 9.7 points during his final season in Los Angeles before struggling to carve out a consistent role with Milwaukee and Phoenix last year.
The move gives Coffey an opportunity for a fresh start with one of Europe’s top clubs.
