As the Knick centers turn, Enes Kanter has gone from fourth-string to starter — off one bad turn of an ankle.
A disgruntled Kanter, who sounded open to a trade following the MLK Day’s rout against the Thunder, is expected to start vs. the Rockets Wednesday after it was announced starting center Luke Kornet has a bone bruise and sprain in his left ankle.
Knicks coach David Fizdale said he’s hopeful Kornet will be back in “a couple of weeks” but a more likely scenario is three weeks as he’s in a walking boot. Now there will be less Luke and less angst surrounding Kanter.
