DENVER — Courtney Lee is behaving like the anti-Enes Kanter.
Knicks coach David Fizdale said it appears his early attempt at raising Lee’s minutes are over and the 33-year-old veteran shooting guard finds himself out of the rotation.
Instead of squawking, Lee is trying to help the young guys and even mentioned staying ready in case there is a trade. It’s no secret the Knicks have looked to move Lee’s long-term contract since the summer.
Lee didn’t make his season debut until early December because of a neck injury and never found the rhythm he had during the 2017-18 season.
