Interim Knicks coach Mike Miller said Frank Ntilikina was going to “very much be a part of” the team’s defensive game plan against the Grizzlies and their rookie sensation point guard, Ja Morant, on Wednesday night.

But, Miller said, he was informed just before game time that Ntilikina was unavailable because of a groin injury.
