Dennis Smith Jr. and Ignas Brazdeikis are leaving the New York Knicks to go take part in the G League’s bubble at Disney World. The two young players have failed to crack Tom Thibodeau‘s rotations to this point in the season, but they should be able to get some much-needed reps with the Westchester Knicks.
The team announced that both players were going down on Monday, but Smith’s decision to go was reported by the New York Daily News over the weekend. Thibodeau confirmed to reporters that Smith had asked for the G League assignment.
