The New York Knicks signed guard Shake Milton to a contract on Tuesday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed by the Knicks, who are dealing with injuries to fellow guard Jalen Brunson (knee), forwards Julius Randle (shoulder) and OG Anunoby (elbow) and center Mitchell Robinson (ankle).

Milton, 27, averaged 4.9 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 42 games off the bench this season with the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Detroit Pistons.
