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 his production was quite modest, it is something to monitor moving forward given the shallow rotation typically utilized in New York.

Ariel Hukporti Latest News
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 his production was quite modest, it is something to monitor moving forward given the shallow rotation typically utilized in New York.
Cleared vs. Grizzlies

Hukporti (illness) is available for Monday's game against Memphis. Hukporti was added to the injury report as questionable due to illness, but it won't keep him from Monday's action. He's not currently part of the regular rotation, making only three appearances in New York's last 16 matchups.
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.
Won't play against Sacramento

Hukporti (illness) is out for Saturday's game versus the Kings. Hukporti has received inconsistent playing time for the Knicks this season, so his absence won't affect the team's rotation. Hukporti's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Memphis.
Brought back from G League

The Knicks recalled Hukporti from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Monday. Hukporti will rejoin the parent club ahead of its matchup against the Magic on Monday. With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) listed as questionable for the contest, Hukporti could be needed in the rotation Monday. The rookie is a member of the Knicks' 15-man roster, though he hasn't appeared in an NBA game since Dec. 19.
Returns to NBA

The Knicks recalled Hukporti from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Wednesday. Despite being recalled in time for Wednesday's game versus Utah, Hukporti didn't log any minutes of action. The rookie big man will likely continue to bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League.
Back from G League

New York recalled Hukporti from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Sunday. Hukporti will provide the Knicks with some depth in the post in Monday's game against the Raptors, but he's unlikely to see any minutes if the contest is competitive.
Receives garbage-time run

Hukporti (ankle) played the final 1:50 of Thursday's 133-107 win over the Timberwolves, finishing with one point (1-2 FT) and two rebounds. 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. Though he's now healthy again, Hukporti will remain on the outside of head coach Tom Thibodeau's rotation.
Out Sunday

Hukporti (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic. As expected, Hukporti has been downgraded from doubtful to out. His absence isn't expected to impact the Knicks' rotation.
