Frank Ntilikina appears like he’ll be remaining with the Knicks.
At least five teams have reportedly shown interest in trading for the 20-year-old guard. But, New York is “not actively looking” to deal Ntilikina, according to Marc Stein of the New York Times.
Ntilikina has averaged 6.4 points and 2.6 assists in 22.7 minutes per game this season. He has struggled to knock down jump shots as he has connected on just 29.5 percent of his 3-point attempts.
Ntilikina, however, has turned it on of late. He tallied seven points and three assists in 16 minutes against the Nets on Saturday and followed that up by scoring a season-high 18 in a loss to the Hornets one day later.
The second-year player, who New York selected with the eighth pick in the 2017 draft, also had an up-and-down rookie season.
The Knicks will face the Cavaliers in Cleveland on Wednesday. They’ll enter that game with an 8-20 record and on a four-game losing streak.
