Here are Sunday’s assignments and recalls from around the NBA G League:
- The Knicks have assigned Ignas Brazdeikis to their G League affiliate in Westchester, according to the team’s public relations department (Twitter link). Brazdeikis finished with 20 points and six rebounds in the team’s victory over the Capital City Go-Go on Sunday.
- The Clippers assigned Terance Mann to the Agua Caliente Clippers of Ontario, the team’s PR department announced. Mann, 23, was drafted by the team No. 48 overall in 2019.
- The Spurs sent rookie Luka Samanic to their affiliate in Austin today, according to the G League’s official log of assignments.
Terance Mann is leading the league in games where he has less than 10 minutes played, 0 points, 0 shot attempts, and less than 2 rebounds and assists with 12 of those situations. Basically, he is the biggest bench warmer in the league. Last year, interestingly, another Clippers player, Sindarius Thornwell led the league with 22 of those situations. I call them “Billions” because if you look in the box score, it shows a single digit followed by nine zeros, which looks like a billion. I’ve been tracking it this whole basketball season.
Well you try to get the ball from Lou!
