If you thought the firing of Knicks president Phil Jackson would mark the beginning of the organization getting its act together, you might want to think again.

The Knicks’ No. 8-overall draft pick, Frank Ntilikina, arrived to one of his first summer-league practices Wednesday to find his last name misspelled on his jersey.

What was supposed to be a proud moment for the French star, receiving his first NBA team practice jersey, turned into a joke. The name, which has a silent “T,” was improperly spelled “NTILINKA.”

The Knicks did not have issues spelling the names of their other two draft picks, Damyean Dotson and Ognjen Jaramaz.
