Knicks president Steve Mills gave no indication he’s going to be hot on Jimmy Butler’s trail, despite the star putting the franchise on his wish list Wednesday in his trade demand.

It is unknown if Frank Ntilikina will start. It is unclear if Ntilikina will play the majority of time at point guard.
