Enes Kanter expected to start for Knicks Wednesday in place of Luke Kornet (ankle)
New York Knicks center Enes Kanter is expected to replace Luke Kornet (ankle) as the starting center in Wednesday's matchup against the Houston Rockets, head coach David Fizdale said.
What It Means:
This comes a day after Kanter was supposedly relegated to third-string duties. He and Mitchell Robinson will split time at center while Kornet is out.
Kanter is averaging 31.0 FanDuel points through 42 games (23 starts), with 14.4 points and 10.8 rebounds per contest.
