Enes Kanter (safety) does not travel with Knicks to London

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (safety) did not travel with the team to London for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards.

What It Means:

Kanter, who missed the previous two games because of illness, will sit out due to safety concerns about the Turkish political dissident traveling abroad. He returned to practice on Monday, putting him on track to return for Sunday's matchup with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Luke Kornet will likely draw another start in London.

Kanter is averaging 31.4 FanDuel points in 41 games (23 starts) this season, with 14.4 points and 11.0 rebounds per contest.
