SALT LAKE CITY — Luke Kornet will start at center for a second straight game when the Knicks face the Jazz on Saturday night, coach David Fizdale said.
In his first start of the season — and second of his career — Kornet shined Thursday in Milwaukee, tying his career high with 23 points and making a career-high seven 3-pointers on 11 attempts. Only four other 7-footers have ever sank seven 3-pointers in a game and Kristaps Porzingis’ high is six. His defense also pleased Fizdale, who has visions of making this a permanent move during this so-far 9-27 season of tryouts.
