Watch Now:

Ntilikina (groin) won't be available for the Knicks' upcoming three-game road trip that begins Sunday in Minnesota and concludes Friday in San Antonio, Marc Berman of the New York Post reports.

The Knicks held out some hope that the second-year guard might be ready to play Friday, but the decision to exclude him from the road trip entirely suggests he's still not that close to returning to full health. Ntilikina is slated to ramp up his basketball activities this week back in New York and could have a shot to play in the Knicks' first game after the road trip March 17 versus the Lakers.
