Suffers hamstring injury
Achiuwa sustained a strained left hamstring in Friday's preseason finale against the Wizards and will be reevaluated in 2-4 weeks, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Achiuwa's injury is a huge blow to an already thin Knicks frontcourt with Mitchell Robinson (ankle) expected to miss significant time. Achiuwa's absence will likely open up playing time for Jericho Sims off the bench behind Karl-Anthony Towns. Furthermore, the club will likely have to take an extended look at its two-way players in Jacob Toppin (ankle) and Ariel Hukporti.

Heads to locker room Friday
Achiuwa departed Friday's preseason game against the Wizards in the fourth quarter due to an apparent hamstring injury, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
The big man tried to dunk on someone but came down holding his hamstring and went straight to the locker room. That doesn't bode well for the Knicks, as they're already thin in terms of frontcourt depth. Jericho Sims is the next man up if Achiuwa is forced to miss time.

Back to bench Friday
Achiuwa will return to the bench in Friday's preseason finale against the Wizards, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis
Achiuwa got the start during Wednesday's preseason game against the Hornets, during which he produced a 20-point double-double with 16 rebounds. However, the starters are back with OG Anunoby (rest) and Karl-Anthony Towns (rest) running the frontcourt.

Dominant showing in spot start
Achiuwa supplied 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes in Tuesday's 111-105 preseason win over the Hornets.
Analysis
Achiuwa was inserted into the starting five Tuesday as the Knicks' typical starters rested in the penultimate preseason contest. Achiuwa took advantage of the extended playing time, grabbing a game-high 16 boards (including six on the offensive side of the floor), and he showed off his extended range by connecting on two of three three-point attempts. Achiuwa should see more playing time off the bench to start the 2024-25 regular season while Mitchell Robinson continues to work through a left ankle injury.

Enters starting five vs. Hornets
Achiuwa will start in Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Hornets, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
With the Knicks deciding to rest their typical starters Tuesday, Achiuwa will enter the starting five. The big man is expected to serve as the club's backup center behind Karl-Anthony Towns this season, at least until Mitchell Robinson (ankle) returns.
