MSG Networks has signed Steve Novak for a primetime spot off the bench.

The former sharpshooter, 42, who played two seasons in New York, will serve in the analyst role for about a dozen games as Clyde Frazier’s backup this season, MSG Networks announced Thursday.

Novak’s debut is Friday night against the Bulls in Chicago, where the Knicks will try to snap a two-game skid .

Novak is replacing Jamal Crawford, who was Frazier’s backup last season but moved to NBC for the national station’s return to NBA broadcasts.

A career role player, Novak totaled 11 seasons as an NBA player and peaked with the Knicks, with his stint spanning Linsanity and the 54-win campaign of 2012-13.
