Copeland had a qualifying offer extended his way Tuesday, a move that makes him a restricted free agent, New York Newsday reports.

The development is procedural more than anything, as the Knicks will now have the opportunity to match any offer sheet that Copeland receives during the offseason. The Knicks afforded him his first gig in the NBA in 2012-13, when he tallied 8.7 points (on 47.9 percent shooting), 2.1 rebounds, and 1.1 three-pointers in 15.4 minutes per contest across 56 games. On the right squad, even the Knicks, he is a valued asset due to his explosive scoring potential off the bench.
