It depends on which time period you look at. King sent a telegram to Ali congratulating him on him first winning the title, obviously seeing him as a better representation of African-Americans than Sonny Liston. However he publicly spoke against Ali's conversion to the Nation of Islam, emphasizing it's contradictions with Kings integrationist approach. However once Ali had refused to be drafted into Vietnam, he gained a large number of liberal sympathizers, white and black, including the Reverend King. King was able to put aside Ali's religion and applaud Ali for his draft resistance.

So to give you a brief answer, yes he did, but to my knowledge, only in the period between Ali's conversion to the Nation of Islam, and his resistance to the draft.
