Last Tuesday, four days after his 30th birthday, Langston Galloway was back in the G League, just trying for another shot at the NBA. For seven seasons, he had played for five teams, averaging better than eight points a game and shooting a more than respectable 37.0 percent from beyond the arc.
He had a tryout with the Warriors in preseason, playing three games, but Golden State cut him and so he joined the College Park Skyhawks, the suburban G League affiliate of the Hawks, days away from the G League Showcase, the most scouted midseason event.
Then Thursday, with the Nets roster bleeding from the COVID-19 resurgence, he got called up to Brooklyn.
