Knicks C Enes Kanter must be really sick after that cheat meal.

Kanter had to miss practice on Thursday with what the team called an illness, and it will extend to tonight's matchup against the Pacers where he will be inactive.

This illnes came after a Wednesday night cheat meal that could have fed a family. 

The Turkish center consumed a whopping seven cheeseburgers -- three with triple patties and an egg -- as well as a tray of french fries. As one would expect, his body didn't really cooperate and he had to sit out.

Kanter's teammates even had some fun with the situation, as F Mario Hezonja posted a video to his Instagram Story of Kanter's locker with plastic cheeseburgers in it.

Kanter was listed as day-to-day as of tonight, and hopefully his burger sickness will subside soon.
