In his return against Oklahoma City (12/8), Jenkins shot just 38.5-percent from the field, was unable to knock down a three, had just one rebound and scored just 10 points which all mark season lows.

BIG ZIMM

Against Oklahoma City (12/8), Stephen Zimmerman shot 62.5-percent from the field for 10 points, marking the just the fifth time the big was able to score double-figures. His eight rebounds registered tabbed the most since the Knicks' season opener (Maine, 11/2) when Zimmerman hauled 10. His two rejections also matched a season-high.

TWO-WAY PLAYERS

Beginning in the 2017 offseason, NBA rosters expanded from 15 to 17 players with the addition of two spots for players under "Two-Way Contracts."

NBA teams may have up to two players under NBA Two-Way Contracts who will spend the bulk of the season in the NBA G League and not more than 45 days with their NBA team. Two-Way players are paid a corresponding daily amount based on the number of days they play in each league. Only players with four or fewer years of NBA service are able to sign Two-Way Contracts, which can be for either one or two seasons.

Allonzo Trier and Isaiah Hicks are both under Two-Way Contracts for Westchester.

LET ME SEE YOU FLEX

The NBA G League's flexible assignment system - which was instituted prior to the 2014-15 season - will continue to enable the independent NBA teams to assign players to the NBA G League for development or rehabilitation from injury. Trevon Bluiett is on flex assignment via the New Orleans Pelicans.
