Jordan Clarkson’s path to Madison Square Garden began far from the basketball court. According to a New York Post report published Sunday, the veteran guard’s eventual agreement with the New York Knicks was set in motion by a single phone call made during this year’s Wimbledon tennis tournament in London.
The Post describes the call as the first concrete step that led the Knicks to secure Clarkson as a key offseason addition. While the story does not specify who placed the call or the exact timing of the subsequent negotiations, it indicates that the brief conversation laid the groundwork for Clarkson’s decision to join New York.
Contract terms, official signing dates and further details surrounding the agreement were not disclosed in the report. However, the Knicks are counting on the 32-year-old guard to provide scoring depth and veteran leadership as they look to build on last season’s playoff run.
