Why isn’t Rokas Jokubaitis playing with Knicks at Summer League?

Summer League is here for the New York Knicks, and there were some disappointments once the team’s roster was released. For starters, according to SNY’s Ian Begley, Jacob Toppin won’t be with New York because of a minor injury. He signed a two-way contract after the draft and fans were looking forward to seeing Obi’s younger brother play.

There’s another player that fans want to see back in Las Vegas, but he won’t be there. The Thunder drafted Rokas Jokubaitis with the No. 34 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft and later that night, he was acquired by the Knicks.
