• Knicks' Enes Kanter: Expected to opt out of contract

  13D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Kanter (back) is leaning towards opting out of his $18.6 million player option for the 2018-19 season and becoming a free agent, Ian Begley of ESPN.com reports. Kanter says he wants to remain in New York longterm, which makes his likely decision to opt out of his deal rather curious, seeing as though his market value is expected to drop from the $18.6 million he would be owed in 2018-19 if he opts in. Nevertheless, it looks like Kanter is looking to get a long-term deal done with the Knicks, but the question remains if the rebuilding Knicks are interested in keeping the big man around or not.

  Kanter (back, wrist) is doubtful for Wednesday's contest against the Cavaliers, Ian Begley of ESPN.com reports.

• Knicks' Enes Kanter: Officially out Monday

  16D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Kanter (back) will remain out for Monday's matchup with the Cavaliers, Chris Iseman of The Record reports. Kanter was considered doubtful for Monday's contest, so it's not a surprise that he'll be missing a fifth straight game. In his place, look for Kyle O'Quinn to pick up another start, which should put him on double-double watch after nothing three straight. At this point, it seems unlikely Kanter will take the court again this season with just one game left on the schedule.

• Knicks' Enes Kanter: Doubtful Monday vs. Cleveland

  17D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Kanter (back) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Cavaliers, Marc Berman of the New York Post reports. Kanter has already missed the Knicks' previous four games with the back issue and seems unlikely to be back for either of the team's matchups with Cleveland this week before the regular season draws to a close. While Kanter has been out the last four contests, Kyle O'Quinn has filled in as the starting center and is averaging 12.5 points (on 51.3 percent shooting from the field), 14.3 rebounds, 3.3 blocks and 2.8 assists in 28.3 minutes per contest, making him a worthy activation across all settings.
