Enes Kanter eager for Knicks return after ‘boring’ spell as TV viewer

Enes Kanter was just another fan.

The Knicks center, who opted against joining the team in London because of fears of an assassination attempt perpetrated by Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, watched Thursday’s game against the Wizards on TV from his apartment in White Plains, while sporting the team’s blue jersey.

Sitting more than 3,400 miles away from his teammates, Kanter felt helpless watching the Knicks collapse and suffer a one-point loss in the final second.

“It was boring, man. It was very boring,” Kanter said of being away from the team.
