The Tokyo Olympics are underway, and Team France kicked off the men’s basketball tournament by shocking Team USA, 83-76. Unfortunately for the Knicks fans and various other Frank-ophiles who woke up at 8 AM to see our hero, Frank Ntilikina sat out with a leg injury.
This has been a sad trend throughout his Knicks career—Frank getting hurt just when he gets an opportunity to shine on a bigger stage. The reports out of Tokyo are that he is day-to-day. He could perhaps even play when France takes on the Czech Republic on Wednesday at 8 PM EST.
