Isaiah Hartenstein News, Rumors, Updates - Oklahoma City Thunder

Scores season-high 20 points Hartenstein recorded 20 points (8-10 FG, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 26 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 113-100 loss to Denver.

Impact Hartenstein had one of his best performances of the season while dealing against Nikola Jokic on both ends of the court, but his efforts were not enough to lift the Knicks to victory here. The 20-point output was a season-high mark for Harstenstein, who's averaging just 8.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game in March.

Back on track Saturday Hartenstein closed with seven points (3-3 FG, 1-1 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, four blocks and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 98-91 win over the Kings.

Impact Hartenstein got back on track in the win, grabbing 14 boards, to go with five combined steals and blocks. He continues to work his way back from an Achilles injury, something that has limited his workload over the past few weeks. While this was certainly a step in the right direction, managers would love to see at least one more game before declaring him back to his best.

Plays 24 minutes in loss Hartenstein supplied three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and four assists across 24 minutes during Sunday's 79-73 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Hartenstein didn't seem comfortable Sunday, and at one point he briefly went to the locker room in the third quarter. He was sporting a heating pad on his back on the bench, but he was able to return to the game. According to Fred Katz of The Athletic, coach Tom Thibodeau said he was unaware of any injury and it doesn't sound like he's dealing with anything too serious.

Starting against Warriors Hartenstein is in the starting lineup to face the Warriors on Thursday.

Impact Hartenstein was not listed in the injury report prior to this game, so his return to the starting lineup is not entirely surprising, as he is firmly entrenched as the starting center when available. This move means Jericho Sims will head back to a bench role. Hartenstein is averaging 8.1 points, 9.1 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game in February.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on injury report Hartenstein (Achilles) isn't listed on New York's injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Hartenstein continues to work back following an Achilles injury that caused him to miss a three-game stretch in mid-February. He appeared in three straight contests before sitting out the second night of a back-to-back set Tuesday, but his production has been modest recently. Fantasy managers should expect Hartenstein to be limited to around 25-28 minutes during Thursday's matchup.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Tuesday Hartenstein (Achilles) will not play Tuesday versus the Pelicans, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Impact Hartenstein joins a laundry list of injuries for the Knicks, with Jalen Brunson (neck) also inactive Tuesday. Precious Achiuwa will log heavy minutes, while Jericho Sims should factor considerably into the center rotation as well. Bojan Bogdanovic has exceeded 24 minutes of action just once across five contests with the Knicks thus far, but he is a candidate to surpass his recent usage Tuesday.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Tuesday Hartenstein (Achilles) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Tuesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so the Knicks are likely contemplating a maintenance day for their center. Hartenstein's minutes have been trending up steadily since his return to the lineup, and he played 27 minutes Monday night. If he's held out, the Knicks could turn to Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Logs just 11 minutes in return Hartenstein (Achilles) played 11 minutes and recorded two rebounds and one steal in Thursday's 110-96 win over the 76ers.

Impact The Knicks cleared Hartenstein to play after he had missed the final three games before the All-Star break with left Achilles tendinopathy, but the center appeared to be operating with some restrictions in his return. Hartenstein will likely see his minutes get ramped up in the games to come as he gets further removed from the Achilles injury, but his playing-time ceiling may be lower than it had been prior to getting hurt. In addition to Precious Achiuwa (38 minutes Thursday) starting to earn the trust of head coach Tom Thibodeau while dabbling between the two frontcourt spots, the Knicks also could get Mitchell Robinson (ankle) back in the fold at some point in the next few weeks.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Says he'll play vs. Philadelphia Hartenstein (Achilles) said he'll play in Thursday's game against the 76ers, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports.

Impact Hartenstein was unavailable for the Knicks' final three games before the All-Star break, but he was listed as probable ahead of Thursday's matchup. He's officially been cleared to suit up, but coach Tom Thibodeau said before the game that Hartenstein will have playing time "guidelines," per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com. Thibodeau didn't specify that Hartenstein's playing time would be significantly scaled back, but the big man will play in shorter stints as he attempts to ramp up to 100 percent ahead of the playoffs.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Officially listed as probable Hartenstein (Achilles) is listed as probable on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the 76ers.

Impact Hartenstein is expected to return to action Thursday after missing the Knicks' final three games before the All-Star break due to a left Achilles injury. The 25-year-old big man has logged back-to-back practices and should reclaim his starting spot from Jericho Sims.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

On track to play Thursday Hartenstein (Achilles) practiced Wednesday and is on track to play Thursday in Philadelphia, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Impact Hartenstein missed the final three games before the All-Star break, but after logging back-to-back practices, he's expected to suit up when New York resumes action Thursday. The big man has been stellar since moving into the starting lineup, averaging 8.3 points, 11.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game over his last 24 appearances (all starts). There are rumblings of Mitchell Robinson (ankle) returning at some point in the regular season, but he hasn't even resumed running yet, so Hartenstein should remain in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Practices Tuesday Hartenstein (Achilles) participated in practice Tuesday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Impact Hartenstein was joined by Donte DiVincenzo and Bojan Bogdanovic in logging limited practice Tuesday, with a potential return Thursday against Philadelphia firmly in play. Hartenstein missed three contests prior to the All-Star break due to his ongoing left achilles tendonitis.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return soon Coach Tom Thibodeau said Friday that Hartenstein is expected to return to action right after the All-Star break, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports.

Impact Hartenstein missed the Knicks' last three contests due to left Achilles tendinopathy. However, it appears the 25-year-old big man will target Feb. 22 against Philadelphia as a return date.

FEBRUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Hartenstein (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Orlando, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hartenstein continues to deal with left Achilles tendinopathy and will be unavailable for a third consecutive game. He'll have time to rest during the All-Star break, while Taj Gibson, Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims could handle increased roles Wednesday.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Orlando Hartenstein (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Magic.

Impact Hartenstein is in danger of missing his third straight contest Wednesday due to left Achilles soreness. If Hartenstein remains sidelined, Taj Gibson, Precious Achiuwa and Jericho Sims are candidates to receive increased playing time.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Monday Hartenstein (Achilles) is inactive for Monday's game against Houston, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hartenstein's next opportunity to take the court comes Wednesday against Orlando. Taj Gibson started Saturday's contest in Hartenstein's place, and Jericho Sims (illness) has also been cleared to play Monday.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday Hartenstein (Achilles) is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Hartenstein is in jeopardy of missing a second consecutive game due to an Achilles injury he suffered in Thursday's game against Dallas. If he is unable to go, Jericho Sims (illness, probable), Taj Gibson and Precious Achiuwa could be in line for increased minutes.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Hartenstein (Achilles) is out for Saturday's game versus the Pacers.

Impact Hartenstein will miss Saturday's contest due to an Achilles injury he suffered against Dallas. With Julius Randle (shoulder) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) out, Taj Gibson and Precious Achiuwa could be in store for increased playing time. Hartenstein's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Houston.

Won't return Thursday Hartenstein will not return to Thursday's game due to a sore left Achilles, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hartenstein appeared to tweak his Achilles during the second quarter of Thursday's game, and he did not come out to the bench for the second half. For now, he should be considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers, and if he can't give it a go, Taj Gibson could get a spot-start.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Makes mark on defense Tuesday Hartenstein closed Tuesday's 123-113 victory over Memphis with 17 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, three blocks and two steals across 35 minutes.

Impact The five combined blocks and steals were Hartenstein's highest total since Jan. 13, when he produced four blocks and two steals against the Grizzlies. The 25-year-old center has also stepped up his offensive contributions while Julius Randle (shoulder) and OG Anunoby (elbow) have been unavailable, and over the last five games Hartenstein is averaging 11.8 points, 11.6 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks while shooting 64.1 percent from the floor.
