For the only time this season, the New York Knicks will take their act outside North America for the NBA’s annual game in London, England. The Washington Wizards will join them across the pond for this matinee matchup in the west and primetime matchup in the east.
The Knicks won’t encounter a healthy Wizards team which already lost John Wall for the season due to heel surgery. Bradley Beal leads them, but they remain outside the playoff picture.
The off-the-court story of this game, Enes Kanter will not travel with New York, due to fearing for his life from the Turkish government, which he spoke out against in the past.
