OG Anunoby - Will remain sidelined TuesdayAnunoby (elbow) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Miami.
ImpactAnunoby has been dealing with an elbow injury over the second half of the season and will be unavailable once again Tuesday. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but he hasn't been able to do much activity recently, and he's running out of time to return before the end of the regular season. Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo and Miles McBride should continue to see increased run.

Mitchell Robinson - Iffy for TuesdayRobinson (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Heat.
ImpactRobinson returned last week following a 50-game absence and appeared in back-to-back games, totaling 15 points, 14 rebounds and two blocks in 32 minutes. However, he missed Sunday's 113-112 loss to the Thunder and is in danger of being sidelined again Tuesday. If that's the case, Precious Achiuwa would likely see elevated minutes as the primary backup center to Isaiah Hartenstein.

Jalen Williams - Questionable for TuesdayWilliams is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to a left ankle sprain.
ImpactWilliams has been available for the last nine matchups, averaging 22.7 points, 5.3 assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 32.7 minutes per game. He tallied 33 points in Sunday's win over the Knicks but is dealing with an ankle injury afterward. If he's available against Philadelphia, he could see increased usage once again since Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) is also questionable.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - Listed questionable for TuesdayGilgeous-Alexander (quadriceps) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
ImpactSurprisingly, Gilgeous-Alexander played Sunday versus the Knicks after initially being listed as doubtful, but he delivered a subpar outing during his return from a two-game absence. He'll attempt to play through the issue again Tuesday, but his availability will likely come down to a game-time decision. If Gilgeous-Alexander is sidelined again, Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe are candidates for increased playing time.

Alec Burks - Handles light role in returnBurks (shoulder) tallied five points (2-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes Sunday in the Knicks' 113-112 win over the Thunder.
ImpactBurks was back in action after a three-game absence due to a sprained shoulder but wasn't able to make much of an impression during his time on the court. He'll likely hold down a minor role in New York's rotation in the short term, but he could see his playing time disappear entirely once the team gets OG Anunoby (elbow) and Julius Randle (shoulder) back from injury.
