before Warriors matchup In a proactive decision, the Knicks have signed free agent MarJon Beauchamp to a two-way NBA contract. Beauchamp, a 6-foot-7 forward and the 24th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, brings a mix of athleticism and potential to the team. After spending time with the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers earlier this season, Beauchamp has averaged 4.2 points and 1.9 rebounds per game across 129 career appearances. While his numbers may not jump off the page, his physical tools and versatility make him an intriguing addition to the Knicks’ roster. Beauchamp’s journey to New York has been eventful. After being traded from Milwaukee to Los
Angeles at the trade deadline, he was waived by the Clippers to make room for other roster adjustments. The Knicks, recognizing an opportunity, quickly moved to secure his services. With this signing, Beauchamp is eligible to be active for 12 of the Knicks’ remaining 22 regular-season games, providing valuable depth as the team navigates the final stretch of the season. As the Knicks take on the Warriors, fans will be eager to see how this new acquisition fits into head coach Tom Thibodeau’s plans and whether Beauchamp can make an impact in the games to come.
