new york knicks starting lineup

Mitchell Robinson is not expected to return to the Knicks this season. The New York Knicks anticipate center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) to miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on his left ankle. Robinson's absence for the remainder of the season is a significant blow to New York's interior defense and paint scoring. The 25-year-old rim protector was having a career year in New York, averaging 10.3 rebounds (5.3 offensive) in 29.2 minutes per game across 21 starts, while also contributing 6.2 points, 1.5 steals, and 1.3 blocks. The absence of Robinson provides Isaiah Hartenstein with a clear road to a starting or reserve position. Hartenstein seems to be a must-start fantasy player going forward, averaging 8.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.2 swats, and 1.8 assists in 30.9 minutes per game over his previous six games. Jericho Sims (ankle) and Taj Gibson, a favorite of head coach Tom Thibodeau, will help cover Robinson's void, but the Knicks might be active at the next trade deadline in February.

After spraining his ankle, Jericho Sims is wearing a walking boot.

Jericho Sims of the New York Knicks injured his right ankle against the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, forcing him to leave the game after just three minutes. Sims made his sixth straight start in lieu of Mitchell Robinson (ankle). After leaving Monday's game, the 25-year-old was observed wearing a walking boot, which isn't a good omen for his availability for the next action. Isaiah Hartenstein is the next major name in line to make his debut in New York. Since Robinson's departure, he has actually played starters' minutes. Hartenstein played 39 minutes on Monday and set a new career best with 17 rebounds. He also got double blocks for the fourth time in a row while scoring nine points.

Josh Hart Will Appear On Saturday

Josh Hart (knee) of the New York Knicks is eligible for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Hart will play despite being labeled as probable going into the game. He's been suffering from right knee soreness, but it won't keep him out of the game. Hart is anticipated to play his typical rotation role and will be even more important in a difficult matchup against Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

Immanuel is expected to be available on Wednesday.

Immanuel Quickley (knee) of the New York Knicks is eligible for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Quickly is back in the lineup for the opening game of this road trip after sitting out on Monday. His comeback should reduce the worth of both Quentin Grimes and Miles McBride. Grimes might still be a good bargain since he has been doing well off the bench. Quickley should be added back into fantasy lineups as soon as possible.

On Monday, Immanuel was quickly ruled out.

Immanuel Quickley (knee) of the New York Knicks has been upgraded from doubtful to out for Monday night. Because the backup guard is suffering from inflammation in his right knee, the club will proceed with caution. The good news is that Jalen Brunson (ankle) has been activated, so they will not be without both point guards. In Quickley's absence, Josh Hart and Quentin Grimes will likely get more time on the bench. Miles McBride might make an appearance, but he's not as dependable as a streaming option.
