Rookie forward Anton Watson has found a new home with a Celtics rival.
The Knicks claimed the 24-year-old off of waivers, signing him to a two-way contract, according to ESPN. The move came a day after the Celtics waived Watson on Monday.
Watson never played in an NBA regular-season game during his brief stint with the Celtics. He averaged 12 points and 5.5 rebounds while shooting 30.8 percent from 3-point range in 16 games with the Maine Celtics.
