(Reuters) - The New York Knicks have signed free agent Baron Davis, the National Basketball Association team said on Monday, but it is unclear when the point guard will make his debut as he continues to recover from a herniated disk.
Terms were not announced but according to local media, the 32-year-old Davis agreed to a one-year deal worth $2.5 million.
A two-time All-Star, Davis split last season between the Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers averaging 13.1 points and 6.7 assists over 58 games.
The third overall pick in the 1999 draft, Davis has posted career averages 16.5 points and 7.3 assists.
In Washington, the Wizards announced they had reached a deal with last year's leading scorer, shooting guard Nick Young.
The Wizards had been hoping to resign Young to a long-term contract but settled on a one-year deal for $3.7 million according to local media reports.
"Nick is a very good scorer who has continually developed and shown steady improvement over his four years with us," Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld said on the team's website.
"His size, shooting ability and athleticism allow him to get his own shot and compliment our other backcourt players, making him a valuable part of our young core."
Washington's first round selection in the 2007 draft, Young averaged a career best 17.4 points a game last season.
The 26-year-old restricted free agent had been seeking a big raise in the neighborhood of $9 million a season from the Wizards, according to reports.
Following a protracted labor dispute, the NBA campaign will tip off almost two months later than scheduled on December 25 with the regular season reduced from 82 games to 66.
