Share

NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks have signed guards Sasha Vujacic and Thanasis Antetokounmpo.

The terms of the deal were not announced Friday.

The 6-foot-7 Vujacic has career averages of 5.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists in eight seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers, New Jersey and Los Angeles Clippers.

A two-time NBA champion with the Lakers alongside Phil Jackson and Derek Fisher in 2009 and 2010, he last played in the NBA for the Clippers, appearing in two games during the 2013-14 season.

The 6-7 Antetokounmpo averaged 13.9 points and 6.2 rebounds over 32.9 minutes in 47 games with the Westchester Knicks of the NBA D-League.

He was selected in the second round by the Knicks in the 2014 draft. He is the older brother of Milwaukee forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Clippers: Team signs guard Prigioni
LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles Clippers signed guard Pablo Prigioni on Thursday.

Prigioni agreed to the deal in principle two weeks ago with the Clippers, who signed the Argentine veteran for the veteran's minimum of $981,000.

The 38-year-old Prigioni averaged 4.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists last season for the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets. He signed with the Knicks in 2012 after a lengthy career in Spain and Argentina.

Houston traded Prigioni to Denver last month, and the Nuggets waived him.

Prigioni played well against the Clippers in the second round of the playoffs last season, particularly impressing coach Doc Rivers with his defense. Prigioni also could back up Chris Paul as a point guard.

The Clippers have 14 players under contract for next season.
