As challenging as that might sound, Kanter, a devout Muslim from Turkey, is so knowledgeable with fasting that he has somewhat mastered the procedure. Kanter’s daily fasts will begin Tuesday and continue for 30 days. Drafted in 2011, the NBA season ended before Ramadan started in the summertime from 2012 through 2015. A pizza guy making a delivery at sunset might be out of the concern, but Kanter stated he liked the concept. Coach Terry Stotts stated he has coached others who observed Ramadan and has never ever been concerned that a player would not be able to perform well.Trail Blazers center Enes Kanter(# 11)looks for an open colleague as the Portland Trail Blazers deal with the Phoenix Suns at Moda Center on Thursday, March.
