For the first and only time this season, Glens Falls native Jimmer Fredette returns to play in his home state when the New York Knicks host the Sacramento Kings Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
Through the first 27 games of his rookie campaign, the 6-foot-2 Fredette has struggled mightily. After leading BYU to its first Sweet 16 appearance in 20 years and garnering the 2011 James Naismith Men’s College Basketball Player of the Year Award, Fredette was selected with the 10th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks and was immediately traded to Sacramento as part of a three-team deal, thus beginning the professional career of the former Glens Falls Indian.
