Enes Kanter (back spasms) limited for Knicks on Monday
New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (back spasms) was a limited participant at Monday's practice and is questionable to play against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday.
What It Means:
Kanter wasn't available for Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors and he also sat out three games earlier this season due to back spasms, so with the Knicks not prioritizing wins at this point in the season, this could be a multi-game absence for the big man. Luke Kornet started on Sunday in place of Kanter and posted 18 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, and 3 3-pointers.
Kanter is averaging 30.9 FanDuel points per game this season. Over the remainder of the year, numberFire's models project him to record 14.6 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.
