GREENBURGH, N.Y. _ The Knicks built a 19-point cushion against Washington on Thursday but found a new way to lose, falling on a last-second goaltending call. Enes Kanter took in the royal debacle in London from the lounge in his apartment building.
"It was very boring," Kanter said about watching on TV after rejoining the Knicks for practice Sunday at MSG Training Center. "I was happy because we were up by 19. It was a tough loss, of course. It hurt us a lot. But it was definitely tough because [of] sitting there, being healthy and not to help your teammates _ definitely tough."
Kanter had feared for his life if he were to go to England because of his sharp and steady criticism of Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but the 26-year-old center still had a very productive week. He did a series of network TV interviews, wrote a piece for The Washington Post and went to Washington to speak with politicians.
