New York Knicks: Will Enes Kanter accept his new bench role?

After the New York Knicks ended their five-game skid with a 115-96 victory against the Brooklyn Nets, Enes Kanter returned with his second less-than-enthusiastic post-game interview, according to ESPN’s Ian Begley:

Enes Kanter had 15 points & 15 rebounds in 26 minutes vs BK. When asked about coming off the bench, he repeated, without enthusiasm, the same answer he’d given last week about following David Fizdale’s directive to lead the 2nd unit. He still doesn’t seem thrilled about the role.

It was Kanter’s second consecutive game off the bench, after starting every game in his Knicks’ career.
