Following the news, Steve Popper of Newsday Sports reported that the New York Knicks are a team with an interest in Clarkson.

Via Popper: "Not hearing it's done but sounds like Knicks have set their sights on Jordan Clarkson once he clears waivers -- an unexpected find for them at a low cost after he was bought out by Jazz earlier in the day."
