PHILADELPHIA — Enes Kanter could barely walk in the visitor’s locker room after Wednesday’s 118-101 Knicks loss to the 76ers still racked with back pain after a hard fall. He hobbled down the hallway for X-rays that were negative, but he still plans to see a back specialist in New York. It was as tough…

PHILADELPHIA — Everything has changed at Wells Fargo Center … except the moribund Knicks. The telltale sign of that is the paucity of Knicks jerseys in the crowd and lack of cheers for the road team.

At this point in the season, the Knicks are beginning to give minutes to their young guys for evaluation, and what their potential could hold for the future of the franchise. For 2017 second-round pick Damyean Dotson, those minutes have been very few.

Remember, it’s a process. But do you trust it?
