Matthews was sent to New York from the Mavericks in late January as part of the Kristaps Porzingis trade. He was in the final season of the four-year, $64 million deal he signed with Dallas in July 2015.
Matthews played just two games with New York and scored 14 total points on 4-of-19 shooting.
The 10-year veteran is averaging 12.8 points and 2.3 assists in 29.7 minutes per game this season. He’s shooting 40.6 percent from the field and 37.4 percent from 3-point range.
