The New York Knicks have signed Damyean Dotson as their second replacement player after Tyler Hall.
Shams Charania of The Athletic first reported the signing.
Dotson was the Knicks’ second-round pick in 2017 and played for the team and its G League affiliate in Westchester until 2020.
Dotson played for the Cleveland Cavaliers last season after getting waived by the Knicks. He has career averages of 7.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 211 games. He enjoyed his best year in the league with the Knicks in the 2018-19 season, averaging 10.7 points per game.
Dotson will be available to play for the Knicks when they host the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday.
Based on the new memo agreed upon by the NBA and NBPA, the Knicks are allowed to sign a replacement player for each COVID-19 case. Currently, the Knicks have six players in the health and safety protocols.
Obi Toppin, the first Knicks player to test positive, is scheduled to finish his 10-day quarantine Monday.
