Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. The big man will miss his second game in a row due to an Achilles injury. The Thunder are resting most of their starters with them already locking up the top seed in the West. It remains to be seen if Hartenstein will suit up for Sunday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans. For now, Jaylin Williams figures to see an increased role in the rotation with Hartenstein ruled out. Williams offers interesting streaming appeal with Hartenstein unavailable.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (hip) is good to go for Monday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls. After he suffered a hip injury against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday, Hartenstein was initially listed as questionable for Monday. Before being limited by injury against Indiana, Hartenstein had posted five double-doubles in six appearances. He has averaged 12.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks in 27.4 minutes this month. Chicago allows the fourth-most fantasy points in the league to centers, so Hartenstein could be in for a very productive evening.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Hartenstein is in danger of missing this game after exiting early on Saturday due to left hip soreness. The Thunder could be in trouble with Chet Holmgren (hip) and Jaylin Williams (hip) also tagged as questionable for Monday. If they sit, Kenrich Williams, Branden Carlson, and Dillon Jones could all see increased roles. Between the three, Williams would be the only player worth considering as a streaming option.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (back) will be inactive on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out, as low back spasms will prevent Hartenstein from suiting up for the game. This means Chet Holmgren is expected to take on much of the frontcourt work, while Jaylin Williams and Kenrich Williams will see extra time on the court. Both players have previously excelled in similar situations and should be considered solid streaming options.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (nose) will not play on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He is forced to take some time off due to a nasal fracture. Chet Holmgren (lower leg) may also miss the action, as he has been listed as questionable for the game, meaning Jaylin Williams may have to take on the bulk of the work at the center position. Kenrich Williams and Branden Carlson could also see time at the five position.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) will miss a fourth straight game on Wednesday against Utah. He remains on the sidelines due to a left soleus strain Hartenstein suffered last Tuesday against Philadelphia. A day later, the team announced that Hartenstein would be re-evaluated in a week, but he isn't ready to return against the Jazz. With Hartenstein unavailable, the Thunder have operated without a natural center in the starting unit. Players like Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins have taken on bigger workloads to compensate for the loss of Hartenstein.

On Wednesday, the Oklahoma City Thunder announced that center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) sustained a left soleus strain in Tuesday's game against the 76ers and he will be re-evaluated in one week, according to Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com. The 26-year-old German center is out until at least the Jan. 22 matchup with the Jazz. Until the big man returns, Jaylin Williamswill see plenty of extra minutes at center.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (hand) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Hartenstein is set to make his season debut after missing the beginning of the season due to a fractured left hand. His return comes at a good time for the Thunder with Chet Holmgren (hip) sidelined right now. The expectation is that Hartenstein is going to be eased back into the rotation. Once at full health, Hartenstein should play a significant role in the Thunder rotation. If available, fantasy managers should go scoop him up before it's too late.

Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein has suffered a small, non-displaced fracture in his left hand and will be re-evaluated in five-to-six weeks, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The 26-year-old big man suffered the injury in Tuesday's preseason contest against Denver. Harteinstein was set to be the Thunder's new starting center after the team brought him in over the summer as a free agent from New York. Chet Holmgren will now likely remain at the center position to start the 2024-25 campaign, while the door has opened for Alex Caruso to enter the first unit.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein has been heavily linked with a move elsewhere, and it's beginning to look like the team won't be able to hang on to him. Following the Knicks' big trade for Mikal Bridges, NBA insider Ian Begley reported that sources have told him it's become "increasingly unlikely" that the Knicks will be able to retain Hartenstein. The 26-year-old big man is expected to be a "top" target for several teams in free agency. With Mitchell Robinson reportedly on the trade block, New York's center rotation could be very different in 2024-25.

According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com, impending free-agent forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein is drawing interest from more teams. While OKC has been rumored to covet his services, Scotto, citing league sources, reported the Orlando Magic could be a team to watch this summer. The 26-year-old drew 49 starts for New York during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 8.7 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 1.2 blocks. He was also instrumental in helping the Knicks advance deep into the postseason. But New York likely won't be able to afford to keep Hartenstein on the roster, meaning Orlando, a team with plenty of cap space this summer, could make him a strong offer.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein has been strongly linked with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Sources have told Stefan Pondy of The New York Post that the Thunder are the "top threat" to pry Hartenstein away from New York. The 26-year-old is heading toward unrestricted free agency and is expected to get a big contract. A recent report suggested that teams are willing to offer as much as $80-100 million for his services. Meanwhile, the Knicks are limited to a maximum offer of four years, $72.5 million. Hartenstein would provide a big boost to the Thunder's rebounding ability after the team posted the fourth-lowest rebounding rate in the league this season.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein is set to cash in big on a productive season this summer. According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, Hartenstein will be able to draw at least $80 million, and perhaps upward of $100 million, from a team that tries to lure him away from New York in free agency. Hartenstein, who is coming off a two-year, $16 million deal, finished 2023-24 as the Knicks' starting center and proved himself as a versatile contributor. He averaged 7.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.1 blocks in 25.3 minutes during the regular season.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein had a historic outing in Tuesday's 121-91 win over the Pacers. He tied Charles Oakley's franchise record and became only the ninth player in NBA playoffs history to record 12-plus offensive rebounds in a game. Hartenstein added five boards on the defensive end, finishing with a big 17-rebound outing in just 31 minutes. He scored seven points on 2-for-3 shooting and recorded five assists with one block. The seven-footer has taken major steps as a playmaker in the series against Indiana, notching five-plus assists in three of the last four games. Hartenstein has done a good job this postseason as Mitchell Robinson's (ankle) replacement in the starting unit, averaging 9.6 points and 7.9 rebounds in 29.5 minutes.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (shoulder) isn't on the injury report for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers. He hurt his shoulder in Game 4 on Sunday, logging only 22 minutes. However, the Knicks will be delighted to know that Hartenstein won't have to sit out Tuesday's action. The 26-year-old has played a vital role for the team in the playoffs due to Mitchell Robinson's (ankle) injury. Through 10 playoff appearances, Hartenstein has averaged 9.9 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.0 blocks in 29.4 minutes.

New York Knicks forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (shoulder) finished with five boards and four points in Sunday's blowout loss to the Indiana Pacers. The Knicks struggled in Game 4, with Jalen Brunson the only starter to reach double figures on the scoring end. However, and more importantly, Harteinstein indicated after the loss that he may have pinched a nerve in his shoulder. This is concerning, considering the team is without Mitchell Robinson (ankle), OG Anunoby (hamstring), and Bojan Bogdanovic (ankle). At any rate, Hartenstein stated X-rays were negative and that he would play in Game 5 on Tuesday night. But if he can't make it out there, Jericho Sims and Precious Achiuwa would see more action, with the latter being the more dependable DFS option.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein came up with a big all-around performance against the Pacers in Wednesday's Game 2, finishing a 130-121 win with 14 points, 12 rebounds, eight assists, and one block. The 26-year-old big man, who averages 1.7 dimes for his career, came very close to a triple-double as he led his team in assists. Despite the narrow miss, Hartenstein should be extremely happy with his contributions in Game 2, and he at least got to celebrate his first double-double of the playoffs. There should be plenty more of those to come for Hartenstein after Mitchell Robinson (ankle) landed on the shelf.

New York Knicks forward/center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) won't play on Friday against the Nets. He had a double-double with six assists and two blocks in Thursday's win over the Boston Celtics. But the 25-year-old will sit this one out to rest before presumably suiting up for New York's final regular season game on Sunday. Nonetheless, without Hartenstein in the equation, Precious Achiuwa and Mitchell Robinson should split time in the middle, although the former is a much safer DFS option.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (wrist) will play against the Thunder on Sunday, while fellow big Mitchell Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out. Robinson appeared to hurt his left ankle again on Friday versus San Antonio. This was only his second appearance for the Knicks since recovering from ankle surgery. Hartenstein is dealing with a right wrist sprain but has been upgraded from probable to available. He's set to play a big part once more without Robinson, while Precious Achiuwa should get a boost of playing time as well. This is a favorable matchup for the Knicks frontcourt, as Oklahoma City struggles on the glass.

New York Knicks center Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) is not listed on the injury report ahead of the team's game on Thursday against the Warriors. The 25-year-old sat out the second night of a back-to-back after recently returning from his Achilles injury suffered earlier this month, but he is expected to be cleared to return to the lineup. However, it's likely that he will be placed on a minutes restriction, with anticipated playing time ranging between 25 to 28 minutes. Hartenstein holds season averages of 7.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 2.1 assists in 25.3 minutes per game.
