It’s not an overexaggeration when someone claims that the NBA never rests. Just about two weeks away from the end of the 2016-17 season, the NBA is preparing for its Summer League in Orlando and Las Vegas.
This summer, the New York Knicks will be participating down in Orlando only as rookies, invitees and fringe players look to take any chance possible to impress team management.
