A team official tells Frank Isola that Jared Jeffries will sign with the Knicks once he clears waivers on Tuesday.

Jeffries will not be eligible to play until Wednesday.

Among the candidates to be released by New York to open up a roster spot are Roger Mason Jr., Shelden Williams and Renaldo Balkman.

Jeffries is a defensive forward whom Mike D'Antoni utilized abundantly in his first stint with the Knicks.
