Report: Knicks mull converting Daquan Jeffries 2-way contract to standard deal

The New York Knicks are reportedly considering adding internally than sourcing out players from the buyout market to fill out their 15-man roster.

The 3-for-1 trade that landed them Josh Hart has created two open roster spots. The Knicks must fill at least one of those spots by Feb. 23 to reach the league-mandated minimum of 14 guaranteed contracts.

A hot candidate is a player already familiar with Tom Thibodeau’s coaching staff.

Two-way player Daquan Jeffries is under consideration to have this two-way contract converted into a standard contract, league sources told HoopsHype.
