The New York Knicks are signing Norvel Pelle to a multi-year deal after his second 10-day contract expired Wednesday, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Pelle averaged 1.8 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks in just 6.5 minutes as the third-string center for the Knicks. He’s only appeared in four games, including the Knicks’ 137-127 overtime win against the Atlanta Hawks last night. The 6-foot-10 Pelle had two points and one rebound in nine minutes after Taj Gibson and Nerlens Noel went down with injuries.
Noel, who took an elbow to the mouth, returned in the fourth quarter and finished the game.
