Unhappy Enes Kanter gets chance to start for Knicks

The Knicks had lost five straight. Their young players looked overwhelmed, bordering on lost. And veteran Enes Kanter was having a terrible time hiding how unhappy he was about not being in the starting unit.

Of the three big immediate problems Knicks coach David Fizdale had entering Tuesday night’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers, the team with one of the best records in the NBA, only one could be possibly solved with a quick fix.

And so, depending on your perspective, Fizdale either showed a renewed interest in Kanter or tossed the big man a small bone.
