What happened: The one-year agreement follows four seasons in Europe that produced six trophies. The 31-year-old last appeared in the NBA six years ago.
Why it matters: The contract structure leaves his regular-season roster place unsettled entering training camp. His previous New York stint included 24 starts.
By the numbers: Across 330 NBA games, he averaged 6.9 points and 3.1 rebounds in 18.5 minutes.
What to watch: The next test is how quickly he adjusts to NBA pace after four seasons abroad.
