There seemed to be a reasonable chance when NBA free agency began July 1 that the New York Knicks would bring back Langston Galloway for a third season, enabling the guard to continue building on what had been an out-of-nowhere Gotham success story. In order to sign other players, however, New York was forced to relinquish Galloway’s rights July 4.
As it turns out, those circumstances proved to be a blessing for the 24-year-old, who’ll now get to play roughly a 90-minute drive from where he grew up and starred in high school for Baton Rouge’s Christian Life Academy.
