New York Knicks big man Enes Kanter continues to publicly air his displeasure with his current situation with his team. This time around, the 6-foot-11 center is saying that he is definitely not enjoying watching his teammates lose game after game.
“I'm very sad seeing my teammates out there losing,” Kanter explained, via ESPN. “I hate losing, man. I'm not going to accept losing. Every time I'm out there I'm trying my best to get a win.”
Kanter's comments comes at the heels of his recent demotion to the bench, following head coach David Fizdale's decision to start sophomore Luke Kornet over him.
To say that Kanter is displeased with his situation would be an understatement. He earlier admitted that he felt hurt by his recent relegation to a bench role, and since then, whispers have emerged regarding a potential move away from New York.
Kanter is currently on a contract year, and is very eager to showcase his talents as a way to up his stock. He was having an impressive season prior to his demotion, so to some extent, you could see where the 26-year-old is coming from here.
On Tuesday, Kanter dropped a 17-point, 12-rebound double-double as the Knicks suffered their eighth straight loss against the Denver Nuggets, 115-108. He went 6-of-11 from the field and 5-of-6 from the charity stripe in just 20 minutes off the bench. It was a nice bounce back effort from Kanter who was held scoreless on Saturday against the Utah Jazz.
