During the 2016-17 season, Mindaugas Kuzminskas earned the nickname ‘Cheese’ around the locker room for always having a grin on his face. In 2017-18, it seems like he has less of a reason to smile.
This season has started out pretty rough for the 28-year-old Lithuanian. Apart from catching some funny shade from Courtney Lee, Kuz didn’t see the floor during the first 10 games of the season.
Finally coming in during garbage time against the Orlando Magic, he played only two minutes, going 0-for-2 from the field.
Promising Rookie Year
Mindaugas played in 68 games last year for the Knicks, starting five.
