Mike Woodson announced that the Knicks will sign 6-11 journeyman center Dan
Gadzuric and waive swingman Bill Walker in a move to provide depth and
insurance for the playoffs.

Gadzuric, 34, an athletic big man out of UCLA, will be added in case Amar’e
Stoudemire and Jared Jeffries break down in the playoffs. Prior to signing
with the Knicks, Gadzuric played for the Texas Legends in the D-League and
overseas in China. Gadzuric's last NBA action came last season when he played
for the Nets, appearing in 14 games. Gadzuric had played eight seasons for
the Bucks after UCLA.

"It gives us another big,'' Woodson said. "Just in case Jared is not able to
come back from his rest. It gives us a veteran big that's been around that
could use fouls and rebound.''

Stoudemire will make his return tonight from a bulging disk and Jeffries may
be shut down until the start of the playoffs as he battles chronic knee pain
and swelling. Jeffries may undergo a bloodspinning knee procedure in the
offseason.

The Knicks also have rookie center Jerome Jordan and Josh Harrellson on the
roster but Woodson wanted a veteran as insurance. Plus, Woodson hadn't used
Walker since the swingman returned from elbow surgery 12 days ago.

In addition to Stoudemire, Iman Shumper will be in the starting lineup
tonight, leaving Landry Fields as the odd man out, coming off the bench
