Early was assigned to the D-League's Westchester Knicks on Monday.

Early logged one minute in Sunday's game against the Knicks, marking his first game action since taking a gunshot wound to the leg in December. The Knicks recalled him in light of all their injuries at forward, but with Carmelo Anthony (head) likely to be back for the team's Wednesday's tilt with the Bulls, Early will head back to the D-League to get more reps. He's appeared in three games with Westchester this season, averaging 14 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in just over 29 minutes. He'll continue to focus on recovery and development over the final month of the season with the Knicks well out of contention.
