Ian Begley of ESPN reports the Knicks agreed to a partially guaranteed deal with Jamel Artis.
The former Pittsburgh Panther impressed the organization with his play during summer league, so he’ll get a chance to earn that final two-way deal.
Artis will be competing with former Wisconsin Badger Nigel Hayes, who was signed to an identical deal yesterday.
