NBA: Knicks bring back David Lee, Nate Robinson


Associated Press

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — The New York Knicks have re-signed restricted free agents David Lee and Nate Robinson, two of their most popular and productive players.

The Knicks didn't disclose terms of either deal Friday, though Lee's agent said his contract was for one year and about $8 million.

Lee averaged career highs of 16.9 points and 11.2 rebounds last season while leading the NBA with 65 double-doubles. He was third in the league in rebounding and seventh in field goal percentage.

Robinson's 17.2 points per game were also a career high. He finished third in the voting for the sixth man award and also won his second slam dunk competition.
