Knicks' Kevin McCullar Jr. drops second straight triple-double in G League
New York Knicks rookie Kevin McCullar Jr. recorded a triple-double for the second straight game in the G League, helping the Westchester Knicks defeat the College Park Skyhawks on Friday.
McCullar produced a season-high 23 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in the 130-125 win in overtime at the Gateway Center Arena. He went 10-of-21 from the field, including 1-of-3 from 3-point range, and was a plus-16 in 42 minutes on the court.
The 56th pick is now one of six players with multiple triple-doubles in the G League after finishing with 20 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists on Wednesday. He had 14 points alone in the fourth quarter and overtime to lead the Knicks down the stretch.

McCullar, signed to a two-way contract, debuted with Westchester on Jan. 30 after missing the start of the season due to a knee injury sustained last season at Kansas. He underwent offseason surgery and began training camp by rehabbing with the New York training staff.
The 24-year-old is averaging 11.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.6 steals on 39.2% shooting from the field in 11 appearances with Westchester. He has scored in double figures six times, including three 20-point performances.
With three regular-season games left, McCullar will likely remain with Westchester. After missing most of the season, McCullar will look to maximize his development and finish his rookie campaign with positive momentum heading into the summer.
