Knicks injured point guard Frank Ntilikina hasn’t ruled out making his return during the Knicks’ three-game Western trip that begins Sunday in Los Angeles versus the Clippers.
Ntilkina has been out with a groin strain since Jan. 28, and still hasn’t played with new point guard Dennis Smith Jr.
The Knicks fly to Los Angeles on Friday and will practice at UCLA on Saturday. The Frenchman may be cleared for practice then as he tries to reverse a disappointing second season.
“We’ll keep ramping it up in the next few days,’’ Ntilikina said in a rare interview before the Knicks hosted the Cavaliers Thursday.
