Ignas Brazdeikis makes NBA debut

Ignas Brazdeikis made his NBA debut in the closing minutes of New York’s 113-93 loss to Sacramento. The rookie out of Michigan played just over four minutes, scoring four points and recording an assist in his short stint. See his first NBA field goal below:

Playing time will likely continue to come sparingly for Brazdeikis as the Knicks have a dearth of forwards with more experience and pedigree than the southpaw. However, if the losses continue to pile up and perhaps a trade is made at the deadline to cash in one of the veterans for a pick, Knicks fans could get used to seeing Brazdeikis more after an impressive showing at Las Vegas Summer League.
