From Marc Berman:
On Dec. 21, the Knicks will face the deadline to give Ntilikina a rookie-contract extension and there’s no evidence they will do so.
Expected to be a restricted free agent in 2021, Ntilikina stands a chance of being dealt at the trade deadline in March.
Regarding his contract, Ntilikina said, “The business part is going to take care of itself. I’m here to get better every day, to get this team better.’’
Knicks president Leon Rose is his former agent, but Ntilikina dumped Rose for French rep Bouna Ndiaye.
