Double-digit boards off bench
Achiuwa logged six points (2-3 FG, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 120-111 loss to the Pistons.
Analysis
Although it was Jericho Sims who entered the starting lineup for the injured Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), it was Achiuwa who soaked up the bulk of the minutes at center for the Knicks on Saturday. It was Achiuwa's second regular-season appearance after the 25-year-old big man missed the first 21 games of the year with a hamstring injury, so it was encouraging to see him already handle 28 minutes off the bench this soon after returning to the court. With New York still missing Mitchell Robinson (ankle) as well, Achiuwa is worth a speculative add in deep fantasy leagues while the status of Towns remains up in the air for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Receives 12 minutes in debut
Achiuwa (hamstring) logged two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes Thursday in the Knicks' 125-101 win over the Hornets.
Analysis
Achiuwa made his season debut after missing the Knicks' first 21 games of the season due to a left hamstring strain sustained in the preseason finale. Though Jericho Sims was the Knicks' first big man off the bench Thursday, he played just three minutes to Achiuwa's 12. Expect that disparity to grow wider as Achiuwa becomes further removed from the injury, with Sims potentially falling out of the rotation entirely. The Knicks showed a willingness to use Achiuwa last season as a backup option at both power forward and center, but it will likely take an injury to one of the team's starters before he gets enough minutes to make for an appealing pickup in 12-team leagues or shallower.

Will make season debut Thursday
Achiuwa (hamstring) is available to play Thursday against the Hornets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Achiuwa will finally make his season debut in this matchup against the Hornets, adding some much-needed depth to the frontcourt. It's unclear if Achiuwa will be on a minutes restriction, but Achiuwa will operate as one of Karl-Anthony Towns' backup options, possibly stealing minutes from Jericho Sims.

On track to play Thursday
Achiuwa (hamstring) will warm up with the intention to play in Thursday's game versus the Hornets, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis
Achiuwa is officially listed as questionable Thursday but appears on track to make his season debut. If Achiuwa is upgraded to available, he will likely operate on a minutes restriction as he works his way back to game shape.

Listed as questionable for Thursday
Achiuwa (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against Charlotte.
Analysis
Achiuwa continues gradually ramping up for a Knicks' squad that could benefit from his depth in the frontcourt. Coach Tom Thibodeau said Monday that Achiuwa could be ready to play "in a week or so," which would make a return to action Thursday improbable, though New York has yet to rule him out.

Practices with G League squad
New York recalled Achiuwa (hamstring) from the G League's Westchester Knicks on Monday.
Analysis
Westchester didn't have a game Monday, so Achiuwa, Tyler Kolek and Ariel Hukporti joined the G League squad for practice and were recalled afterward. Coach Tom Thibodeau said Monday that Achiuwa is expected to return to game action "in a week or so," and when available, he'll likely serve as the Knicks' top reserve option in the frontcourt.

Closing in on return
Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said Monday that Achiuwa (hamstring) is "getting closer" to making his season debut and could be ready to play "in a week or so," Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis
Achiuwa thus looks likely to miss the remaining three games of the Knicks' homestand this week, but he might be cleared to play during the team's three-game road trip that begins Monday in Toronto. While Achiuwa likely won't have a sizable role waiting for him once he's back to full strength, he could end up unseating Jericho Sims as the top backup to starting center Karl-Anthony Towns.
