Available Wednesday
Hukporti (lips) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis
Hukporti will shed his questionable tag and suit up Wednesday after sustaining a lip laceration in Monday's win over the Pelicans. The big man has appeared in three of the Knicks' last four games and will likely continue to see increased burn with Mitchell Robinson (ankle) sidelined.

Questionable for Wednesday
Hukporti (lips) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis
Hukporti sustained a lip laceration in Monday's win over the Pelicans and was unable to return. If the second-year center joins Mitchell Robinson (ankle) on the sidelines Wednesday, Guerschon Yabusele and Trey Jemison are candidates for increased playing time off the bench.

Won't return Monday
Hukporti won't return to Monday's game against the Pelicans due to a mouth laceration.
Analysis
The big man sustained a cut in his mouth, and it seems the problem is severe enough to keep him sidelined for the rest of the game. He'll finish with no counting stats in 12 minutes of action off the bench. Hukporti's next chance to play will come Wednesday on the road against the Spurs.
