Clarkson contributed 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds and one block over 34 minutes during Saturday's 133-121 loss to the Magic.
With Landry Shamet (shoulder) exiting the contest early in the first quarter, Clarkson logged a season high in minutes and made the most of the opportunity. The veteran guard led the Knicks' bench in points, scoring in double figures for the third time over his last four appearances. If Shamet ends up missing additional time, Clarkson will likely continue to see a bump in minutes moving forward.

Knicks' Jordan Clarkson: Season-high 24 points Friday
Rotowire
Clarkson posted 24 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-11 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during New York's 140-132 win over Miami on Friday.
The Knicks' role players were expected to step into a larger role on offense due to the absence of Jalen Brunson (ankle), and even more so after OG Anunoby left in the first quarter of Friday's game due to a hamstring injury. Clarkson hadn't scored more than 15 points in a game this season, but the 2021-22 6MOTY showed off his scoring prowess against Miami while doing most of his damage from the charity stripe. Brunson may not travel with the Knicks during their upcoming five-game home trip, and with Anunoby now dealing with an injury, Clarkson and Landry Shamet are set to be thrust into larger roles on both ends of the floor.

Knicks' Jordan Clarkson: Scores 13 points in 17 minutes
Rotowire
Clarkson registered 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 133-120 win over the Grizzlies.
Clarkson tallied double-digit points for the fourth time in the past five games. While the recent scoring has been an improvement on what he was doing to begin the season, it is clear his role will be somewhat muted moving forward. Through 10 games, he has averaged just 9.5 points and 1.5 three-pointers in 16.3 minutes per contest.

Knicks' Jordan Clarkson: Drops 15 off bench in win
Rotowire
Clarkson posted 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and two assists in 18 minutes during Sunday's 128-116 victory over Chicago.
Clarkson has been one of New York's most prominent figures off the bench, averaging 8.2 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 threes made. While he doesn't provide much value elsewhere, he can certainly score if given the opportunity, but his role among the offense is too inconsistent to warrant a roster spot in most leagues.

Knicks' Jordan Clarkson: Scores eight points in 15 minutes
Rotowire
Clarkson finished Sunday's 115-107 loss to the Heat with eight points (2-11 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 15 minutes.
The Knicks have been dealing with several injuries to open the season, so it's pretty telling that Clarkson has averaged just 14.6 minutes per contest through three games. With Tyler Kolek and Landry Shamet also competing for minutes in the second unit, it doesn't appear like Clarkson will see enough shots to warrant attention in most fantasy leagues.

Knicks' Jordan Clarkson: Wraps preseason on high note
Rotowire
Clarkson recorded 13 points (5-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Friday's 113-108 preseason win over the Hornets.
Clarkson managed to post a solid showing in his last appearance of the preseason. His scoring average has dropped in each of his final two seasons in Utah, but a change of scenery could certainly alter that trajectory heading into the 2025-26 campaign now that he's playing for a true contender. After starting the preseason finale, Clarkson was spotted with a heating pad on his right calf to begin the second half, allowing Miles McBride to start the third quarter. Clarkson eventually came back into the contest, and his status for the regular-season opener isn't currently in jeopardy.
Knicks' Jordan Clarkson: Moves into starting lineup
Rotowire
Clarkson will start Monday's preseason game against the Wizards, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
With the Knicks resting their usual starters, Clarkson will start alongside Miles McBride, Malcolm Brogdon, Pacome Dadiet and Guerschon Yabusele. Clarkson played for four different teams before joining the Knicks, but this is the first time he's moved cities since 2019, so there may be an adjustment period for the veteran.

Knicks' Jordan Clarkson: Scores 10 off bench
Rotowire
Clarkson finished with 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 18 minutes of Thursday's 100-95 preseason win over Minnesota.
Clarkson has been heavily involved with the second unit to open the preseason, as he's tied with the team lead in usage rate at 27.3 percent. However, he's yet to find his rhythm, as he's shooting 40.0 percent from the field and 57.1 percent from the line through three exhibitions. That said, it certainly looks like he won't be shy on his new team.
Knicks' Jordan Clarkson: Scores nine points in win
Rotowire
Clarkson racked up nine points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one rebound across 15 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 preseason win over the 76ers.
Clarkson suited up for his new squad for the first time during the team's preseason opener overseas. The one-time NBA Sixth Man of the Year will likely play a significant role off the bench for New York, as he could become Mike Brown's go-to guy in the second unit when it comes to scoring.
