Share

Alen Smailagic might make his NBA debut Wednesday night against the Knicks.

The Warriors recalled the rookie big man from their G League affiliate in Santa Cruz, the team announced Wednesday morning.

Smailagic -- the No. 39 overall pick in the 2019 draft -- sprained his ankle during Golden State's second training camp practice and was sidelined for nearly two months.

He made his season debut with the Sea Dubs on Nov. 29, and has averaged 12.0 points and 5.5 rebounds in 21.9 minutes over his first six appearances.

The 19-year-old shot over 47 percent from the field and 33 percent from 3-point territory (8-for-24).

At this point, it's unclear if the Serbian will travel with the Warriors for Friday's game at Utah, or if he will play in Santa Cruz against the Agua Caliente Clippers of Ontario.
