Enes Kanter describes himself as a man without a home. He has protection everywhere he goes, in case those sympathetic to the Turkish president wish to do him harm. He’s essentially lost his job, and Knicks coach David Fizdale told him as much on Sunday, Kanter said. And soon, too, he might have to relinquish that Knicks jersey he loves so much.
And when he does feel at home – like on Monday, when an injury to Luke Kornet meant he got to check in to a loud ovation from the Madison Square Garden crowd – it is likely destined to be short-lived.
