Former Knick Cleanthony Early—Phil Jackson’s first ever draft pick!—has been dismissed from AEK B.C., the Greek team he inked a contract with quite recently. Early was last seen working out with Carmelo Anthony, Tim Hardaway Jr., and other assorted Knicks this summer. Early’s termination comes as a surprise, as his new deal was announced just last week. Per David Pick, Early has been dismissed due to disciplinary reasons.
Cleanthony took to social media to address the reason for his dismissal, and he does not seem pleased with the coverage of his termination.
Cle followed this up with since-deleted screenshots of what appear to be messages between him and an AEK team executive.
