Player	Status	Injury
Isaiah Hartenstein	probable	Achilles
Bojan Bogdanovic	probable	calf
Julius Randle	out	shoulder
OG Anunoby	out	right elbow
Mitchell Robinson	out	ankle
Duane Washington	out	thumb

What happened to Julius Randle and OG Anunoby?

On Jan. 27, Randle had to leave the Knicks' win against the Heat in the fourth quarter following a collision with Miami forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. as he drove towards the basket.

He fell awkwardly on his right side and was clearly in pain as he hurried to the locker room, accompanied by the team's trainers.

A source from the league mentioned that Randle's rehabilitation and workout routines have progressed smoothly without any complications, and the discussion around surgery is largely a precautionary measure taken by both Randle and the Knicks.

However, when questioned about the possibility of needing surgery after the season concludes, Randle did not provide a clear answer.

During an away game between the Knicks and the Hornets on Jan. 29, Anunoby, after participating in pregame warmups, concluded that he was not in condition to play that evening.

The cause was inflammation in his right elbow, which is notably the same elbow he relies on to shoot three-pointers at 39% since being traded from the Toronto Raptors on December 31st.

He has remained out of play since that game, and now, three and a half weeks later, there is still no definite timeline for his return from injury.

Philadelphia 76ers injury report for Feb. 22

The 76ers have listed four players on their injury report. PF Nicolas Batum (hamstring) is questionable, while PF Robert Covington (knee), SG De'Anthony Melton (back) and C Joel Embiid (knee) are out.

Player	Status	Injury
Robert Covington	out	knee
Nicolas Batum	questionable	hamstring
De'Anthony Melton	out	back
Joel Embiid	out	knee

What happened to Joel Embiid?

Embiid has not been officially declared out for the remainder of the season following his surgery on Feb. 4 to address a left meniscus injury, which occurred during the game against the Golden State Warriors on Jan. 30.

Jonathan Kuminga inadvertently fell on Embiid's knee in the fourth quarter, which was reportedly already ailing as he had missed a couple of games prior to the matchup.

Nonetheless, it seems likely that the star center will be out of action for a period extending well beyond his initially scheduled re-evaluation in four weeks.
