New York Knicks guard Jordan Clarkson has found his footing in Mike Brown’s system in recent weeks, and his latest performance helped push him into the history books.
During the Knicks’ commanding 133-120 win over the Memphis Grizzlies, Clarkson entered the top 10 in all-time bench scoring in NBA history, per an announcement from Knicks PR. Clarkson has scored 8,137 points off the bench in his career.
Clarkson signed a one-year deal with the Knicks this offseason to beef up their bench production, and so far he’s done just that. After a slow start to the season, Clarkson has scored in double-figures in four of his last five games, and is averaging 12.0 points per game in the month of November.
The Knicks have now won five games in a row to push the team to a 7-3 record through its first 10 games, exactly the start they were hoping for as they aim for a Finals appearance this season. The Knicks are also 7-0 at home to start the 2025-26 campaign.
Clarkson and the Knicks will look to make it six in a row on Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. They’ll play two more games on their current seven-game homestand before embarking on a five-game road trip next week.
