Knicks' Luke Kornet double-doubles with 4 blocks in NBA debut
New York Knicks power forward Luke Kornet scored 11 points (4-of-9 field goals, 3-of-7 3-pointers) with 10 rebounds and 4 blocks in 22 minutes of Thursday's 113-88 loss to the Toronto Raptors.
What It Means:
The Knicks were missing both Kristaps Porzingis (ACL) and Enes Kanter (mouth) on Thursday evening, so Kornet got the green light for the first time in his NBA career and certainly didn't disappoint. The seven-footer has a smooth stroke but Kanter isn't expected to be out long, so Kornet's ceiling may be limited.
Kornet finished with 35.0 FanDuel points on Thursday.
