London to be family reunion for Frank Ntilikina

GREENBURGH, N.Y. _ Frank Ntilikina's mother will be there. His brother will be there. Oh, and 40 or so of his closest friends also will be in London on Thursday to watch him play his first NBA game in Europe.

Ntilikina, who grew up in Strasbourg, France, has scrambled to get nearly 50 tickets to the regular game between the Knicks and the Washington Wizards.

"I have a lot of friends," Ntilikina said. "They support me in every step I make here. Once they found out I was playing in London, they were excited about coming to see me. It's a blessing for me to play there and have my friends coming to watch the game. I am kind of bringing the NBA feelings to them and then enjoying our time together."
