The details of the deal have not yet been fully disclosed.
Ndour was on the heels of being invited to the Knicks’ training camp after piquing the interest of the Knicks’ front office and other teams thanks to a 23 point, six rebound performance against Jahlil Okafor and the Philadelphia 76ers July 14.
Considered a summer league standout by some, Ndour averaged 9.6 points and 4.8 rebounds in five games with New York. He was invited to the Knicks’ summer league team in Las Vegas after the forward was not acquired in this year’s NBA draft.
In his two years at Ohio, Ndour played 66 games while scoring 977 career points and grabbing 502 career rebounds under current head coach Saul Phillips and former coach Jim Christian.
