Perhaps the only sad part of this glorious road trip photo of the New York Knicks is the absence of Cleanthony Early. The sophomore forward hasn't taken the court since being shot in the knee during a robbery attempt on Dec. 30, but had been practicing with the team and accompanying them on road trips recently.
As it turns out, the front had a reason for keeping Cle at home, and it is truly fantastic:
March 7 – The NY Knicks announced today that the team has assigned Cleanthony Early to the Westchester Knicks of the NBA Development League.
