    The Knicks continued to fill out the back of their training camp roster by signing Magic forward Chuma Okeke on Thursday to a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 deal, a league source confirmed.

    Okeke, the 16th overall pick in the 2019 draft, will receive an invite to training camp with the Knicks after he was in and out of improved Orlando’s rotation last season.

    The 6-foot-6 forward averaged 2.3 points and 1.7 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per game over 47 appearances.

    In his first two years with the Magic, Okeke made 39 starts among 115 games played and posted 8.3 points and 4.6 boards over 25.1 minutes per game.

    Michael Scotto of HoopsHype was first to report the Okeke agreement.

    The Knicks still have one guaranteed roster spot available after bringing back forward/center Precious Achiuwa earlier this week on a one-year deal worth $6 million.
