While Enes Kanter continued to lobby for the Knicks to “develop guys in the G-League” and not in the NBA, Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek sounded conflicted, too, especially with an uncertain future.
With the Knicks losing 17 of their past 18 games, Hornacek challenged players at Friday’s practice on whether they “hate to lose.”
While Hornacek continues to trot out young players in the fourth quarter, he also gave a hint he would love to know soon about whether he’s coming back next season. Hornacek has one year left on his contract, and team president Steve Mills and GM Scott Perry may look to bring in their own guy.
