Enes Kanter doesn't seem to be too thrilled with David Fizdale's changes to the Knicks starting lineup.

After Fizdale decided to bench the big man for Luke Kornet to start Thursday night's rematch with the Bucks, Kanter appeared to air his grievance on Twitter.

Kanter posted a facepalm emoji and nothing else -- the latest instance of Kanter taking his displeasure to social media. He had a similar post earlier this season upon being benched for Mitchell Robinson.

Kanter said he would discuss the issue after Thursday's game, per the New York Post. He ended up finishing the night with an ejection after getting into a heated exchange with Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The 23-year-old Kornet hadn't started a game this season after appearing off the bench in the Knicks' last seven games. Kornet, who is playing with a broken nose, is averaging 3.3 points through 13 games this season. 

The 26-year-old Kanter is averaging 14.9 points and 10.9 rebounds per game this year.
