Point Guard Baron Davis has signed with the New York Knicks.

Davis was previously on the Cleveland Cavaliers but was waived two weeks ago.  He was designated as an amnesty player for the Cavaliers so that his salary wouldn’t count against their cap figure.  The Knicks had been looking to enhance their backcourt

prior to signing Davis.

Davis may not be able to play though after sitting out all of preseason with a back injury.

He played 58 games last season, averaging 13.1 points and 6.7 assists.  Davis, a two-time All-Star, has averaged 16.5 points and 7.3 assists since being drafted in 1999 by the Charlotte Hornets.
