New York Knicks News Mix, 9/17/17: Willy Hernangomez Earns Bronze Medal

All three of the Euro New York Knicks were impressive in their way during EuroBasket 2017. Kristaps Porzingis (Latvia), Mindaugas Kuzminskas (Lithuania), and Willy Hernangomez (Spain) each helped their teams advance to the knockout stage.

Porzingis and Kuzminskas were previously eliminated, but Hernangomez was still active as of Sunday in the third-place game against Russia. After being shockingly blown out by Slovenia in the semi-final round, Spain was successful in their quest for the bronze medal on Sunday.

Hernangomez wasn’t a significant factor over the last two games, playing only a combined 13 minutes.
