Jalen Brunson is getting another perk as he arrives in New York.
The New York Knicks announced over the weekend that they are bringing back guard Ryan Arcidiacono. The 28-year-old made ten appearances for them last year but was a free agent this summer after his contract expired.
Arcidiacono is famous for his daredevil defense and hustle. He also has a notable link to Brunson, the Knicks’ prized offseason addition. Arcidiacono and Brunson were the starting backcourt at Villanova University during the 2015-16 season, which resulted in a national championship for the Wildcats.
Brunson left the Dallas Mavericks in July to sign a four-year, $104 million contract with the Knicks. In addition to Arcidiacono, there is another very familiar figure to Brunson in the Knicks organization as well.
