New York Knicks point guard Frank Ntilikina returned to action as a reserve on Friday night against the Denver Nuggets at Madison Square Garden.

Due to a groin injury, Ntilikina hadn't played since a loss to the Miami Heat on Jan. 27.

He finished with five points, four rebounds, and five assists on 1-of-6 shooting in 25 minutes of action as New York fell 111-93 for its third straight loss.

The sophomore guard entered the matchup averaging 5.9 points and 2.8 assists in 41 games this season. Ntilikina was selected with the eighth overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
