Double-double machine Kanter knows most important number

INDIANAPOLIS — Enes Kanter posted his 20th double-double this season — a 20-point, 15-rebound outing in Sunday’s 110-99 loss to the Pacers.

Kanter, a traditional low-post center, even bagged a 3-pointer — his fifth this season. His numbers are All-Star worthy and he’s playing for a new contract. Because of his enormous cap hold, it may not be with the Knicks, even if he’s just 26, because the Knicks believe Mitchell Robinson is their future.

Kanter now is averaging 15 points per game on 56 percent shooting, two assists and 11.8 rebounds. He’s also shooting 83 percent from the free-throw line.
