Jeffries (calf) logged four minutes Friday in the Knicks' 99-79 win over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the series, recording two fouls and no other statistics.
Despite being on the Knicks' roster in some capacity since late November as either a two-way player or on a standard NBA deal, Jeffries didn't make a single appearance for New York during the regular season. After moving past a recent calf issue, Jeffries finally got the opportunity to make his Knicks debut in garbage time of Game 3. He should remain outside of head coach Tom Thibodeau's rotation for the duration of the Knicks' postseason run.

Knicks' DaQuan Jeffries: Out Monday
Rotowire
Jeffries has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rockets due to a right calf strain.
Jeffries is rarely a part of the rotation in New York, so this report will not impact fantasy hoops. His next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against Miami.
Jeffries and the Knicks agreed Sunday on a multi-year contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Jeffries had already completed two 10-day deals with New York, so he was bound for free agency unless the Knicks offered him a full NBA contract. He's averaging 21.0 points for the G League's Westchester Knicks, but he's yet to make an NBA appearance this season. However, with Westchester's season now over, he'll be on the bench for New York during the stretch run, though he remains unlikely to crack the rotation.

Knicks' DaQuan Jeffries: Gets another 10-day deal
Rotowire
Jeffries agreed Thursday with the Knicks on a second 10-day contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Jeffries has been a member of the Knicks' roster for most of the season, first as a two-way player after signing a deal in late November before he had that contract terminated so he could be re-signed to a 10-day deal earlier this month. He'll stick on the roster for at least another week and a half, but the Knicks will have to decide after that period whether to sign Jeffries to a rest-of-season deal or let him test free agency. Jeffries has yet to see action at the NBA level this season and is expected to continue seeing most of his opportunities with New York's G League affiliate, the Westchester Knicks.
