The Knicks are rounding out their bench with a new signing.
New York is signing John Konchar, according to GSL Sports Group, which represents the forward. ESPN’s Shams Charania reports it’s for a one-year deal.

Konchar spent his first seven seasons with the Grizzlies before landing with the Jazz in the middle of last season. With Memphis, he averaged 14.5 minutes, 3.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 30 games last season, but produced more with Utah. Across 26 games with the Jazz, Knochar averaged 26.2 minutes, 5.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, and three assists per game.
Utah traded Konchar and Cody Williams to the Timberwolves in exchange for Josh Green and cash considerations this offseason. Minnesota then waived Konchar in late August.
SNY’s Ian Begley reported that Konchar and forward-center Drew Eubanks were among the players on the Knicks‘ radar this offseason.
