New York Knicks Sign Center Cole Aldrich to Contract for 2013-14 Season

The New York Knicks no longer have to worry about finding a backup center. 

With Jeremy Tyler out for an extended time due to a stress fracture, New York was holding steady with only one true 5 on the roster: Tyson Chandler. And given his aging body and injury-riddled history, it was a risky proposition. 

According to KnicksNow.com, NBA.com's official Knicks affiliate, Cole Aldrich will now be calling Madison Square Garden home. While the terms of the deal have yet to be made public, the news does come directly from Executive Vice President and general manager Glen Grunwald, so it's pretty darn official. 



Aldrich, while still a big body, hasn't experienced the same type of success in the NBA that he had while suiting up for Kansas. 



During his three years in the Association, the big man has played for the Oklahoma City Thunder (who originally selected him at No. 11 in the 2010 NBA draft), Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings.

He currently sits on career averages of 2.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.2 assists, 0.2 steals and 0.5 blocks per game.
