NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Knicks are reportedly on the verge of signing Michael Beasley, a former No. 2 overall draft pick.
According to Basketball Insiders, the two sides are close on an agreement on a one-year contract. ESPN confirmed the report, adding that a deal is expected to be completed Tuesday.
While he has never lived up to his draft position, Beasley, a 6-foot-9 power forward, had a solid season coming off the bench with the Milwaukee Bucks in 2016-17, playing in 56 games and averaging 9.4 points and 3.4 rebounds. He shot 53.
