Cleanthony Early leaves hospital, may visit Knicks at practice

Cleanthony Early was released from the hospital Saturday and could visit the Knicks’ practice facility Monday.

Early was shot in the right knee after being robbed in Queens after three cars boxed in the Uber car in which he and his girlfriend were riding early Wednesday morning. Early was fortunate to escape serious injury. He doesn’t require surgery on the knee, but there’s no timetable for his return.

“He’s been released to go home, and that’s all good,” said Derek Fisher, who wouldn’t address when Early could be back practicing.

“I think right now is not the time for us to get into those discussions,” he said.
