Once Enes Kanter lost his role in the New York Knicks’ rotation, a split seemed inevitable, and not for after the 2018-19 season ended. He consistently expressed unhappiness with his role in post-game interviews, but with the blue and orange having played their final game before the trade deadline, the Turkish center may have appeared with them for the last time.
Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Knicks and Kanter are expected to discuss a buyout after Thursday’s 3:00 p.m. ET deadline. It’s as they run out of time to work a trade.
Kanter was frequently involved in trade reports over the past month, with the Chicago Bulls and Sacramento Kings linked to the unhappy veteran.
