Enes Kanter guts it out after taking hard hit by countryman

Enes Kanter goes up for a shot against the 76ers' Richaun Holmes (22) during the Knicks' 118-101 loss Wednesday night.

PHILADELPHIA — Enes Kanter could barely walk in the visitor’s locker room after Wednesday’s 118-101 Knicks loss to the 76ers still racked with back pain after a hard fall.

He hobbled down the hallway for X-rays that were negative. It was as tough to watch as these past five Knicks seasons.

The fact Kanter, who can opt out of his contract, risked playing in the second half of a meaningless game after taking a violent tumble is beyond admirable.
