Free agent guard Jordan Clarkson agreed to a one-year, $3.9 million contract to return to the New York Knicks, his agent and Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul announced on Thursday.

The deal is the veteran's minimum for Clarkson, who is five years removed from being selected the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year.

Clarkson, 34, averaged 8.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 72 games (one start) with the Knicks last season.

A second-round draft pick of the Washington Wizards in 2014, Clarkson immediately was dealt to the Lakers. He played 3 1/2 seasons in Los Angeles, then parts of three seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers before he was traded to the Utah Jazz in December 2019.

In 825 games (232 starts), Clarkson owns NBA averages of 15.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists.
