Enes Kanter (back) out for Knicks, Willy Hernangomez to start Friday night
New York Knicks center Enes Kanter will not play Friday versus the Atlanta Hawks, according to the New York Post's Marc Berman.
What It Means:
Kanter is dealing with back spasms so he'll take a seat tonight. Early indications are that Willy Hernangomez will make the start rather than Kyle O'Quinn. Joakim Noah remains out of the lineup with an illness.
Prior to being ruled out, Kanter was projected for 29.4 minutes and 32.2 FanDuel points. His next chance to play comes tomorrow against the Houston Rockets.
