MILWAUKEE — He’s back.
Knicks coach David Fizdale is unleashing enigmatic point guard Frank Ntilikina on the Bucks guards as the rematch is staged for Thursday at Fiserv Forum. Ntilikina has told Fizdale he won’t regret it.
“I’m going to get Frank back in there tonight,” Fizdale said at the morning shootaround.
With his visiting mother flying in from France for the Christmas contest, Ntilikina surprisingly received a DNP against the Bucks, who chewed up the Knicks in a 109-95 victory.
Fizdale and Ntilikina talked about the DNP, and the coach came away impressed with his reaction.
