Knicks' Courtney Lee has a new appreciation for G League players after joining them for a game

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Courtney Lee has navigated through 11 NBA seasons, which didn’t quite prepare him for his one-game trip down to the G League.

Lee joined the Westchester Knicks for a game Tuesday in Lakeland, Florida, with the intention of creating a preseason for himself after a neck injury held him out of the 24 games of the season. He not only got a chance to get his wind and timing in order, but he also got an appreciation for the work being put forth in the NBA’s developmental league.

“It was definitely a different experience,” Lee said.
