New York Knicks rookie Ariel Hukporti departed Wednesday's victory against the Philadelphia 76ers with a knee injury.
Making his first career start in place of injured center Karl-Anthony Towns, the 7-footer exited in the fourth quarter with a sprained left knee.
Hukporti, a second-round pick (58th overall) in the 2024 NBA Draft, originally appeared to suffer the injury during a third-quarter collision.
Hukporti, 22, played 16 minutes in the 110-105 win at Madison Square Garden and finished with eight points, two rebounds and one blocked shot.
'I thought Ariel gave us good minutes,' coach Tom Thibodeau said. 'He's a young guy who's learning and getting better. Each experience, when he plays, you're gonna learn something.'
Hukporti is averaging 1.9 points, 2.0 rebounds and 8.7 minutes in 25 games (one start) this season.
