Former Portland Trail Blazers big man Skal Labissiere has signed with the Westchester Knicks in the NBA G-League, according to The New York Times NBA insider Marc Stein.
The Haitian big man, who the Blazers traded to the Atlanta Hawks at the 2020 trade deadline, appeared to have had a sparse market of suitors during NBA free agency.
