Knicks' Cleanthony Early shot in attack outside strip club

Knicks player Cleanthony Early was shot in the leg in an early-morning attack outside of a Queens strip club, police sources told the Daily News.

Early was surrounded by four to six people wearing ski masks and robbed of his items and jewelry — including a gold necklace and gold caps on his teeth, sources said.

The shooting happened outside CityScapes gentlemen's club on 58th Street in Maspeth Queens.

Early was reportedly leaving in an Uber cab when three cars boxed in the vehicle.

He was shot once in the knee, police sources said. He was taken to Elmhurst Hospital in stable condition.
