Reference in physical preparation in the United States, to the point of having accompanied Team USA from 2005 to 2012 but especially the Mavericks since 2004, Casey Smith going to join the Knicks! According to Mark Steinhe will occupy the position of “vice-president of sports medicine”, and after a rotten end to the season due to injuries, we imagine that the management of the Knicks wishes to review its entire physical preparation program.
At the Mavs for twenty years, Casey Smith was dismissed by the new management a year ago. Close to Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd, but also Luka Doncic whom he often accompanied in Slovenia, he was asked to no longer accompany the players on a daily basis, and to no longer be present on the bench and in the locker room on match days. .
A put in the closet while waiting for the end of his contract this summer. On the Knicks side, we therefore waited until he was free from any contract to hire him, and Casey Smith will find Jalen Brunson, whom he knew at the Mavericks.
