Knicks Send Two Bench Warmers to D-League
Jeremy Lin and Jerome Jordan became the first Knicks ever assigned to the D-
League on Tuesday, when team officials sent both players to the Erie
BayHawks.
Lin, an undrafted point guard from Harvard, was signed by the Knicks in
December to provide bench depth after Iman Shumpert was injured. Jordan, a 7
-foot center, was a second-round pick in 2010 who played abroad for a year
before joining the Knicks.
Neither player was in Coach Mike D’Antoni’s regular rotation.
Under N.B.A. rules, Lin and Jordan will continue to earn their Knicks
salaries while playing in the D-League, and they will remain on the Knicks’
roster; the move does not free up any room to sign additional players.
The Knicks have signed a number of D-League players over the last few
seasons. Until now, however, they had never used the minor league as a tool
to develop their own prospects.
It is undetermined how long Lin and Jordan will play in Erie, but both could
use the work. Lin had played just 16 minutes over five games, Jordan 29
minutes over six games. Lin, who formerly played for the Golden State
Warriors, thrived in the D-League last season, averaging 18 points, 5.8
rebounds and 4.3 assists for the Reno Bighorns. | L****o
