He was a significant part of the Porzingis’ deal.The 23-year-old guard has averaged 12.4 points, 4.5 assists, and 3.1 rebounds per game through 159 career appearances in the NBA.
The Westchester Knicks are among the 18 teams set to participate in G League’s one-month long ‘bubble’ at Walt Disney World starting Feb. 10.
After a 15-game long regular season, the best eight teams will participate in a single-elimination knockout tournament.
