Kyshawn George Set for NBA 'Hometown' Debut in Montreal

The Swiss-born player, with deep Montreal ties, prepares for his first pre-season game with the Washington Wizards against the Raptors.

Kyshawn George, raised in Switzerland, will play his first NBA pre-season game in Montreal, where his father was raised.
George was drafted 24th overall by the New York Knicks and traded to the Washington Wizards, joining their rebuilding efforts.
The 6-foot-8 player averaged 7.6 points, 3 rebounds, and 2.2 assists for the Miami Hurricanes last season.
His family in Montreal, including his grandmother and cousins, will be supporting him during the game at the Bell Centre.
George's major adjustment to the NBA involves learning new terminology and habits necessary for professional play.
