Frank Ntilikina: Hampered by sore groin

The Knicks are likely just exercising caution with the No. 8 overall pick, but
it’s nonetheless discouraging as Tuesday’s preseason opener nears. Ntilikina is
yet to take the floor for the Knicks in a game setting after an ankle issue kept
him out of summer league in July. If he’s ultimately ruled out for Tuesday’s
game, his next chance to play will come Friday in Washington D.C.
