Isaiah Hartenstein of the New York Knicks was sidelined for two consecutive games, including the Knicks-Nets game and the game against the Nuggets, due to a left Achilles tendinopathy. Initially listed as questionable, he was ruled out for the Nets game, with Jericho Sims likely stepping in as the starter. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau stated that Hartenstein's condition was 'day-to-day'. Before the game against the Miami Heat, Hartenstein warmed up to determine his playing condition. His return was confirmed as he started for the Knicks in the Saturday game against the Heat.
