Knicks' Ariel Hukporti: Set to miss time
Hukporti will miss the next four to six weeks for the Knicks after suffering a torn meniscus in his left knee, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Hukporti went down with a left knee injury during Wednesday's win over the 76ers. The 22-year-old big man logged 16 minutes as a starter before being ruled out for the game, finishing with eight points, two rebounds and one block. New York was already thin in the frontcourt while awaiting the return of Mitchell Robinson (ankle), and now, they will have to pivot once again. Precious Achiuwa will likely see more time on the floor for the Knicks.

Knicks' Ariel Hukporti: Early exit Wednesday
Hukporti has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the 76ers due to a sprained left knee.
Hukporti limped off the court and got his knee wrapped earlier in the contest before returning to action. However, the injury proved to be too much to play through, and he'll watch the remainder of the contest from the sidelines. Hukporti logged eight points (4-5 FG), two rebounds and a block over 16 minutes before exiting. Expect Precious Achiuwa to see plenty of action the rest of the way. Hukporti's next chance to play will come Friday at Memphis.

Knicks' Ariel Hukporti: Starting vs. Philadelphia
Hukporti is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
The Knicks will be without Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle), so Hukporti is the next man up at center and will get the nod here. This will be the first start of the rookie's career in The Association. He's averaging 1.7 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.5 blocks across 8.4 minutes per game in 24 contests off the bench this season.

Knicks' Ariel Hukporti: Logs 17 minutes in OT win
Hukporti totaled two points (1-1 FG), five rebounds and one block in 17 minutes in Thursday's 113-111 overtime win over the Bulls.
Hukporti hasn't had consistent playing time this season, but with Precious Achiuwa thrust into the starting lineup Thursday, the rookie also saw an uptick in playing time. Achiuwa getting minutes at power forward with OG Anunoby (foot) and Josh Hart (knee) banged up bodes well for Hukporti getting more opportunities, at least until Mitchell Robinson (ankle) makes his season debut.

Knicks' Ariel Hukporti: Logs 19 minutes in win
Hukporti totaled six points (3-3 FG, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes during Tuesday's 121-115 victory over the Raptors.
Hukporti played a season-high 19 minutes, seemingly moving ahead of Jericho Sims in the rotation. With Precious Achiuwa playing as the starting power forward, Hukporti slid in as the backup center behind Karl-Anthony Towns. Although Hukporti's production was quite modest, it is something to monitor moving forward given the shallow rotation typically utilized in New York.

Knicks' Ariel Hukporti: Iffy for Monday
Hukporti (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
Hukporti is still working to recover from the illness that kept him from playing in Saturday's 143-120 win over the Kings. He has seen sparse playing time for the Knicks this season when available, so his potential absence Monday won't affect the team's rotation.

Hukporti will rejoin the Knicks ahead of Saturday's game against the Kings, but it's unclear if he'll actually be available after he sat out Friday in Westchester's 123-109 win over the Maine Celtics due to an illness. Even if he's healthy enough to play Saturday, Hukporti is unlikely to be included in the rotation.

Hukporti wasn't available for the Knicks' previous two games with a left ankle sprain, but he was given the green light to play Thursday and ended up seeing the court at the tail end of the blowout win.
