LONDON — Enes Kanter appreciates commissioner Adam Silver’s support.
Before the Knicks faced the Wizards on Thursday in London, Silver said he takes a report regarding Turkey’s potential plans to attempt to extradite Kanter from the U.S., as well as social-media death threats, “very seriously.”
Silver added he “absolutely understands” Kanter’s reasoning for not traveling to London for the game.
In a text message to The Post on Friday, Kanter stated: “I missed the guys and Adam Silver, I can’t thank him and the league enough. It means so much to me when they show me support.
