An afterthought at this time last year, Jericho Sims now has a home with the Knicks.
The 58th pick in last year’s draft is signing a partially guaranteed three-year deal worth just shy of $6 million with the franchise after being on a two-way contract, The Post has confirmed.
The former Texas star appeared in 41 games last year and averaged 2.2 points and 4.1 rebounds. His playing time increased in the second half of the season, and the 6-foot-10 big man registered four double-digit rebounding games.
It’s uncertain if the Knicks will use part of their room mid-level exception for this deal.
