NBA: Knicks sign back-up point guard Beno Udrih

The New York Knicks bolstered their backcourt with the addition of point guard Beno Udrih, the team announced Thursday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but reports have it as a one-year deal worth $1.27 million.

"Beno is a solid addition to our backcourt where he will give us more depth and flexibility," Knicks general manager Glen Grunwald said in a statement. "He is a talented and experienced floor general who brings championship experience to our locker room."

The 6'3" Udrih was originally selected late in the first round of the 2004 draft by the San Antonio Spurs, and won two championships with the team from 2004-2007. He has since had stints with the Sacramento Kings, Milwaukee Bucks, and Orlando Magic, before becoming a free agent this past offseason.

Udrih has career averages of 9.1 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 0.8 steals in 23.5 minutes per game. He is expected to be the primary reliever of starter Raymond Felton. - AMD, GMA News
