On March 24, Frank Ntilikina left the New York Knicks’ loss to the Los Angeles Clippers with a re-aggravated groin injury. He just returned from a two-month absence, two games earlier, due to this same ailment.
After a re-evaluation, the Knicks announced Friday that Ntilikina indeed strained his groin muscle against the Clippers. However, the team’s medical staff recommended him to miss the rest of the season, which has just seven games left.
It capped a disappointing season for Ntilikina, who finished with just 5.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 33.7 percent shooting and 28.
