NEW YORK (AP) Enes Kanter is sticking with the New York Knicks.
Kanter informed the Knicks on Friday he was opting into his contract for next season, rather than becoming a free agent. He teased his decision on Twitter with a picture of himself speaking at a podium that read ''Make Knicks Great Again.''
The center from Turkey will make $18.6 million in 2018-19.
Kanter was acquired in September from Oklahoma City as part of the trade for Carmelo Anthony. He averaged 14.1 points and 11 rebounds in 71 games, all starts, and shot a career-best 59 percent from the field.
