Knicks bringing back veteran forward to fill bench void

The Knicks re-signed veteran forward Lou Amundson.

The team announced the move Monday but did not disclose terms.

The 6-foot-9 Amundson has played for 10 teams. He appeared in 70 games over the last two seasons with New York. He averaged 1.8 points and 1.7 rebounds over seven minutes a game last season.

Amundson provides a veteran presence on a Knicks squad that has a lot of youth coming off the bench. With centers Willy Hernangomez — a European import — and Marshall Plumlee set to make their NBA debuts, along with forward Maurice Ndour, the Knicks like the experience the 33-year-old Amundson provides.

Amundson has appeared in 428 games over 10 seasons with Utah, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Golden State, Indiana, Minnesota, Chicago, New Orleans, Cleveland and New York.

He was acquired from Cleveland as part of a three-team deal in January 2015.
