The Knicks didn’t want lightning-quick Westchester Knicks point guard Trey Burke to head to Wednesday’s G League showcase. They didn’t want Burke to have a chance to show NBA scouts what they already know: He’s ready for an NBA roster.
Burke, the G League Player of the Month for December, is working on a deal to join the Knicks, who will have to make room on their 15-man roster, according to an NBA source. The Knicks are expected to waive banished point guard Ramon Sessions, who lost his starting job after the season’s third game. Yahoo first reported the negotiations.
