Ankle injury sidelines Luke Kornet for a few weeks, so Enes Kanter is 'right back in the mix'

GREENBURGH, N.Y. — By the time that Enes Kanter was expressing his displeasure postgame Monday with his role, it had already changed again.

Kanter, who was upset after Knicks coach David Fizdale explained to him that the team was going to prioritize the development of Mitchell Robinson and Luke Kornet and actually was the fourth center into the game Monday, likely has his starting job back in time for Wednesday’s game against the Houston Rockets. An MRI performed on Kornet’s left ankle confirmed a sprain and also a bone bruise, an injury that likely will sideline him for weeks.
