Enes Kanter changes tune on Knicks trade after Fizdale sit-down

Knicks center Enes Kanter, putting aside his mounting issues with his homeland of Turkey, admits he’s starting to change his tune on his future in New York after a heart-to-heart with coach David Fizdale.

Fizdale said before the Knicks’ 127-109 blowout loss to the Thunder on Martin Luther King Day that his priority for the rest of the season is to play his two young centers, Luke Kornet and Mitchell Robinson, and Kanter’s minutes will be hard to come by.

After the loss, Kanter said his talk Sunday with Fizdale made him “sad,” though things could change if Kornet’s left ankle injury is serious.
