Phil Jackson me with assistant coach of the Lithuanian national team Ramunas Siskauskas, as well as Mindaugas Spokas, the general secretary of the nation’s basketball federation.
The three men were in New York discussing with Jackson plans for Kuzminskas to train with the Lithuanian team in the offseason and participate in the Eurobasket tournament. The Knicks could have two other participants in the tournament in Willy Hernangomez (Spain) and Kristaps Porzingis (Latvia). However, the Knicks advised against Porzingis playing with the national team the last two offseasons.
Here’s Phil Jackson’s tweet with the two Lithuanian NT officials:
