Jordan Clarkson, a backup Knicks guard, is returning to Utah with a reduced role and no regrets, despite his 5 ½ award-winning seasons with the Jazz. Clarkson, who has been largely out of the rotation for almost two months, expressed his joy at his return to the team and is not focusing on his lack of playing time due to his commitment to winning. The team's breakup was cleanly and Clarkson agreed to forfeit roughly $3.6 million of his $14 million salary to sign with the Knicks. Despite significant playing time decreasing as coach Mike Brown prioritized Landry Shamet and improved defensive results, Clarkson remains optimistic about his future in the NBA.
