He inked a prorated veteran's minimum deal with Indiana, according to an earlier report from the Athletic.
Matthews was sent to New York from the Dallas Mavericks in late January as part of the Kristaps Porzingis trade. He was in the final season of the four-year, $64million deal he signed with Dallas in July 2015.
