Mitchell Robinson Out of Action Against Clippers

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday. The 27-year-old big man will sit out the second leg of a back-to-back due to left ankle injury management. Robinson finished with four points, four rebounds and one steal across 17 minutes during Monday's 110-97 loss to the Lakers. With Robinson sidelined, Ariel Hukporti will move up the depth chart as the backup behind starting center Karl-Anthony Towns.

Mitchell Robinson Available Friday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The seven-footer has been rested regularly during back-to-back sets, and that was the case again when the Knicks hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. Robinson's return will bump Ariel Hukporti down in the depth chart. On Friday night, Robinson will play a crucial role in the Knicks' effort to contain Nikola Jokic. The 27-year-old has averaged 5.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks across his last six outings.

Josh Hart Iffy for Friday Night

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (back) is listed as questionable for a meeting with the Denver Nuggets on Friday night. The versatile veteran suffered a back contusion in Wednesday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. This doesn't seem to be a significant enough issue to keep Hart off the court. However, if he misses time, New York will look for more production from Jose Alvarado and Landry Shamet. Jordan Clarkson might also rejoin the rotation.

Mitchell Robinson Sitting on Sunday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't play on Sunday in Chicago. He logged six points and four rebounds in Saturday's two-point win over the Houston Rockets. However, as has been the norm, Robinson won't suit up for the second game of the back-to-back. Ariel Hukporti should see more action, with the 23-year-old amassing seven points, five boards, and one block in the most recent contest when Robinson wasn't available.

OG Anunoby is Cleared for Thursday's Game

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) is cleared to suit up for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Anunoby is back in action after missing the last four games before the All-Star break due to left toe soreness. He had plenty of time to rest and is now ready to get back on the court. There is no word on him being limited, so fantasy managers should expect Anunoby to have a normal workload. His return to the court should mean a reduced role for Landry Shamet in the rotation. Fantasy managers in season-long formats can safely get Anunoby back in their lineups.

OG Anunoby Questionable to Play on Thursday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Anunoby has missed the previous four games after having his toenail removed, but practiced in full on Wednesday, opening the door for a potential return on Thursday. In 41 games this season, Anunoby has averaged 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists in 33 minutes per game. A return seems likely, but Anunoby could face a minutes restriction despite facing the current first seed in the Eastern Conference. If he does, in fact, play on Thursday, look for Mohamed Diawara to see a reduced workload.

Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns Claim 2026 Shooting Stars Crown

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson and center Karl-Anthony Towns, joined by former Knick Allan Houston, won the 2026 NBA All-Star Shooting Stars event Saturday, outscoring Team Cameron in the final round. The Knicks trio closed with 47 points after posting 31 in the opener to advance. While the exhibition carries no fantasy weight, both stars enter the second half in strong form. Brunson is averaging 26.6 points, 3.0 threes, 4.8 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 1.0 steals in 36.6 minutes over his last five games, while Towns has posted 19.4 points and 12.4 rebounds in 28.8 minutes. Their usage keeps Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart in complementary roles.

Jeremy Sochan Heading to New York

Forward/center Jeremy Sochan is expected to sign with the New York Knicks once he clears waivers, per ESPN. San Antonio moved on after Sochan fell out of the rotation amid a crowded frontcourt. In 28 games this season, he averaged 4.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.0 assists while shooting 48.0 percent from the field and 68.8 percent at the line, a sharp dip from last season's 11.4 points and 6.5 rebounds. He projects as a low-usage reserve behind OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns, limiting fantasy appeal to deep formats only.

Mitchell Robinson Available Wednesday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will be in action on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The big man was rested for the first leg of a back-to-back on Tuesday versus Indiana, but is ready to provide cover to Karl-Anthony Towns at the No. 5 spot against Philadelphia. Robinson has posted 4.8 points and 6.8 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per game this month. New York's bigs will contend with a Sixers frontcourt missing Joel Embiid (knee), which should make their job easier on Wednesday night.

OG Anunoby Day-To-Day Entering All-Star Break

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) is day-to-day entering the All-Star break, according to coach Mike Brown, after missing four straight games with a right toe issue and sitting out Wednesday against Philadelphia. The veteran wing's designation suggests he could return Feb. 19 versus Detroit. In his absence, Landry Shamet has started the last two games, posting 17 points with four three-pointers in 38 minutes against Indiana but just three points in 28 minutes versus Boston. Shamet is a volatile streamer, while Josh Hart and Mikal Bridges continue to see stable workloads and usage.

OG Anunoby To Miss Fourth Game With Toe Ailment

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) will sit out the team's final game before the NBA All-Star break on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. This will be the fourth consecutive game that Anunoby has been sidelined. Veteran Landry Shamet has been starting in Anunoby's place the last two games, scoring three and 17 points. He'll likely pick up another start against the 76ers, with Mohamed Diawara and Jose Alvarado rounding out the rotation.

OG Anunoby Won't Play Tuesday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Indiana Pacers, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports. He will miss the rematch of the 2025 Eastern Conference Finals due to a toe injury. This will be Anunoby's third consecutive absence after the Knicks initially listed him as questionable for Tuesday's game. Landry Shamet started in Anunoby's place on Sunday against Boston but had a poor game with three points. Mohamed Diawara and Jose Alvarado are also candidates for more minutes until Anunoby returns.

Josh Hart Leaves Friday's Blowout with Ankle Concern

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) exited Friday's loss to Detroit in the third quarter and did not return after aggravating a right ankle injury. He posted five points, six rebounds, and two assists in 25 minutes. Hart had already been managing a left ankle issue, putting his status for Sunday against Boston in doubt. If he misses time, Landry Shamet profiles as a points and threes streamer after averaging 14.5 points and 3.8 triples over his last four games. Jordan Clarkson would see a modest usage bump, while recently acquired Jose Alvarado could carve out a role once cleared to play.

OG Anunoby Won't Play on Friday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was initially listed as probable, but has now been downgraded to out for this game. It's not shocking to see the Knicks being cautious with Anunoby after he played 48 minutes during Wednesday's game. The absence of Anunoby should mean Mohamed Diawara will move into the starting five on Friday. The rookie forward hasn't seen a consistent role in the rotation this season. He finished with five points across 14 minutes of action on Wednesday. Josh Hart might end up benefiting the most, even with Diawara drawing the start.

Josh Hart Available Against Pistons

New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) will suit up against the Detroit Pistons on Friday, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports. The versatile veteran is dealing with a sprained left ankle, but he is ready to play. New York listed Hart as questionable on the initial injury report before upgrading him to probable earlier in the day. Hart has averaged 12.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 1.0 steals across his last eight outings.

Karl-Anthony Towns Ruled Out Friday

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (eye) won't play on Friday against the Detroit Pistons, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports. Due to a right eye laceration, the Knicks listed Toews as questionable on the initial injury report. He was downgraded to doubtful earlier on Friday and has now been ruled out. His absence will likely give Mitchell Robinson the starting center role, while Ariel Hukporti will get a chance to log extended minutes off the bench. Whether Robinson starts or not, his stats have stayed about the same throughout the season. Towns' first chance to return will be on Sunday against the Boston Celtics.

Miles McBride to Miss 6-8 Weeks

New York Knicks guard Miles McBride (abdomen) will miss 6-8 weeks, SNY's Ian Begley reports. He could be out for the rest of the regular season following core muscle surgery. McBride's absence will leave the Knicks without an important rotational piece. The 25-year-old has averaged a career-high 12.9 points this season, along with 2.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists. However, the arrival of Jose Alvarado from New Orleans will help fill the backcourt void. Landry Shamet and Jordan Clarkson could also be more involved in the rotation going forward.

OG Anunoby Listed as Probable for Friday

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (toe) is listed as probable for Friday's contest against the Detroit Pistons. Anunoby has a sore right toe but is expected to play in the matchup between the Eastern Conference's top two teams. Anunoby had a quiet five-point outing when the Knicks faced Detroit a month ago in this season's first meeting. Given his recent form, Anunoby is poised for a much stronger showing on Friday. He has averaged 19.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.8 steals across his last eight outings.

Josh Hart Might Miss Another Game on Friday

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup with Detroit. The veteran sprained his left ankle during a recent meeting with the Washington Wizards and wasn't available for Wednesday's double-overtime win over the Denver Nuggets. Jordan Clarkson entered the starting lineup, finishing with 11 points. If Hart remains on the shelf against the Pistons, Clarkson would presumably remain with the first-five, although Landry Shamet, who is coming off a 16-point effort, has a higher upside for fantasy managers.

Karl-Anthony Towns • PF • Knicks

Karl-Anthony Towns Questionable Versus Pistons

New York Knicks forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (eye) is questionable for Friday's encounter with the Pistons. KAT suffered a laceration above his right eye during the double-overtime win over the Denver Nuggets. It forced him to briefly exit the contest, although he still finished with a 24-point, 12-rebound double-double. Considering the 30-year-old played through the injury on Wednesday, it would be surpising if he didn't suit up. However, if Towns isn't out there, Mitchell Robinson, averaging 3.7 points, 8.4 boards, and 1.1 blocks in 13 starts, is the favorite to replace him in the rotation. While those aren't the most impressive statistical marks, Robinson could be more productive if Josh Hart (ankle) and OG Anunoby (toe) don't play.
