On September 30, the Clippers traded him to the New York Knicks for cash. Jordan played a total of eight minutes in three preseason games for the Knicks, who waived him on October 25.
On December 3, Jordan signed a contract with BC Lietuvos Rytas in Lithuania. He was released from the team after the season ended.
