Knicks’ Coach: We Really Prioritized Re-Signing Amundson

(Lou Amundson) He was glad the (New York) Knicks thought the same way about wanting to keep him around and is thrilled to be united with two players with whom he is very familiar. Amundson played with Lopez in Phoenix and New Orleans and was a teammate of Williams in Minnesota.

“We obviously prioritized having Lou back,” coach Derek Fisher said, “and we feel like from the time he joined our team during the season last year to finish the season, he was just very impactful and he picked up on a lot of things that we are trying to do. He’s a worker and so we felt good about investing in him because of what he invested in us when he showed up last year.”
