Courtney Lee is still working his way back from a neck injury that kept him out of action until early December. The veteran New York Knicks guard isn’t completely back to his old self. As a result, the Knicks are assigning Lee to the G League according to Knicks PR.
Lee will play in Lakeland for Westchester’s game against the Orlando Magic’s G-League affiliate. He will rejoin New York on Thursday when they take on the Hornets in Charlotte.
This may seem like an odd move to send the 11-year veteran down to the G League.
