Sun Yue and Gabe Pruitt were two interesting names added to the Knicks training camp roster, but neither stuck longer than a week. The Knicks today announced four cuts to the roster that included Yue, Pruitt, forward Warren Carter and Ron Howard.

The roster is now at 16, counting Cuttino Mobley, who is retired but has not been officially waived by the team.

Newsday

The New York Knicks agreed to a contract with free agent guard Gabe Pruitt on Friday. Terms of the deal were not announced per team policy.

The Los Angeles native played collegiately at the University of Southern California and was selected in the second round — 32nd overall — by Boston in the 2007 NBA Draft

He averaged 2.0 points and 7.8 minutes in 47 contests last season and saw action in four games for the Celtics in the first two rounds of the 2009 NBA Playoffs.

Over two seasons, spanning 62 games with Boston, Pruitt has averaged 2.0 points and 7.4 minutes.

Press Release

Last night the Celtics lost to the LA Clippers 93-91 and nobody saw that coming, even the Clippers. A few hours later, the Celtics got another surprise when Gabe Pruitt got booked for DUI.

“Pruitt, a member of the Boston Celtics, was pulled over around 3:15 AM in the Hollywood area. Sources tell TMZ Pruitt failed a field sobriety test and had a blood alcohol level well over the legal limit. 

He was taken to a local jail and booked on suspicion of driving under the influence. His bail was $5,000.”

I’m guessing this probably won’t help Pruitt’s already slim playing time.
