Clarkson, the last remaining part of the Jazz's Donovan Mitchell-Rudy Gobert era, has always expressed undeniable gratitude for the state of Utah and the organization, now giving one final nod to his longest-tenured team since being drafted in 2014.

On Monday afternoon, Charania confirmed a report from the Deseret News: Clarkson is likely to sign with the New York Knicks once he clears league waivers. Theoretically, any team with the cap space to pick up Clarkson’s contract could choose to pick it up, but that is unlikely to happen given Clarkson’s $14.3 million salary for next season.
