Notes from Day 2 of Knicks Summer League practice

We all know by now that Cleanthony Early can't catch a break, but this is getting ridiculous:

Knicks say Cleanthony Early did not practice with the summer league team today due to a strained left hamstring. They say he is day-to-day.

The Knicks forward has battled knee problems and a friggin' gunshot wound during his two years with the team. New York did not tender him a qualifying offer on Thursday, which officially makes him an unrestricted free agent. That won't really help much if he can't get on the court.

That was the bad news from Day 2 of Summer League practices. The good news is ... Ron!

Ron believes coach Jeff Hornacek, "...just wants me to be myself." It's good advice. Let Ron be Ron.

Here's some nice practice footage, comprised of basketball-looking stuff:

Everyone looks so happy! Also, it would appear that Westchester Knicks GM Allen Houston has joined up with the coaching staff. That's smart -- he needs to get a look at the next crop of future W-Knicks.

Game 1 of Summer League is Saturday at 3 PM. Be there or be square.
