**New York, NY** – The New York Knicks have officially signed 3-point specialist Matt Ryan, bringing the local product back home to play for his hometown team. The move, reported by ESPN insider Shams Charania, fills one of the Knicks’ remaining roster spots ahead of the season’s start.

Ryan, a 27-year-old White Plains native, spent last season with the New Orleans Pelicans, averaging 5.4 points per game. He brings experience from other NBA teams like the Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, and Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Knicks had been pursuing Ryan for some time, even securing his G League rights in the recent draft. His 3-point shooting ability is expected to be a valuable asset off the bench for the Knicks, who needed to fill their roster to the minimum 14 players before tomorrow’s deadline.

This signing marks a homecoming for Ryan, who hopes to find stability with his local team. The Knicks will be looking to Ryan’s sharpshooting to help them contend in the competitive Eastern Conference.
