Chris Duhon, who agreed to sign with the Knicks on Friday, may have been promised significant playing time by the team, according to Newsday.

New York will sign Duhon to a two-year contract worth roughly $12 million, and the deal could signal the end for Stephon Marbury with the team.

"We've been given all assurances that they're not bringing Chris here to sit on the bench," agent Kevin Bradbury said.
