South African small forward Samkelo Cele will spend the NBA Summer League with the New York Knicks, off the back of his Basketball Africa League (BAL) First Team selection.

Cele - who played college basketball at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, Southern College, Marist and the University of Science & Arts OK Drovers and was a third team NAIA All-American - brings to an end a lengthy period of frustration.

There were talks with teams abroad over the last two years, but nothing concrete until the Knicks called him up in late June.
