It’s been a rough few years for Dennis Smith Jr. The former lottery pick lost his starting point guard job, then fell out of the Knicks’ rotation altogether. So far this season he has played only 28 minutes total despite that fact that most Knicks guards have missed at least some time due to injury.
But Dennis is not content to wallow away in self-pity on the bench all season. Per Stefan Bondy of the Daily News, Smith has requested to play in the month-long G League bubble, which kicks off Feb. 10 at Walt Disney World.
