Knicks land Evan Fournier, re-sign Derrick Rose

The New York Knicks have signed two more players since the free agency window opened at 6:00 ET on August 2.

Point guard Derrick Rose has re-signed with the Knicks on a three-year $43 million deal. French forward Evan Fournier is also on his way to New York, by way of the Boston Celtics.

Here is ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski’s tweet, rounding up the Knicks’ free agency moves.

Rose is a former MVP, who has enjoyed a resurgence in New York. His veteran play and leadership helped propel the Knicks to a playoff berth in 2021, their first since the 2012-2013 season, in which they were ousted in the Semifinals. He scored 14.9 points in 2021 and enjoyed his best three-point shooting percentage ever, at 41.1 percent.

Fournier is a three-and-D wing who helped France shock the U.S. Men’s National Basketball Team in the first official game of 2020 Olympics play. In 2021, his only season as a Celtic, he scored 13 points per game and added over 1.5 steals, the best of his career.
