Yongxi “Jacky” Cui is back in New York. After his left knee ACL surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery in December, he was waived by the Brooklyn Nets and returned home to China for a brief time, then it was back to the rehab grind in New York.
Just this week, the G League released a nearly 10 minute interview that touched on his status and his plan to return to the NBA, not the Chinese Basketball Association, when fully recovered. He didn’t mention the Nets but as he has in the past, Cui spoke positively of his time in Brooklyn in the interview as well as his prospects in On The Grind.
