Early was taken to a hospital, then transported to another. The Daily News reports that the wound is not believed to be life-threatening.
Early was a second-round draft pick of the Knicks in 2014. He's played sparingly this season while hopping back and forth between the Knicks and their D-League affiliate.
As the Daily News notes, Early is the second Knicks player involved in a robbery this season. Forward Derrick Williams reportedly had $600,000 of jewelry stolen from his home after partying with two women.
