Isaiah Hartenstein Articles - Page 5

Kawhi Leonard is one of the more interesting players in the NBA currently. There’s no denying his talent, but his disdain for having to meet with the media and his desire to keep his private life private has made him a mystery in the eyes of NBA fans everywhere. And a hilarious comparison from one […]

Jalen Brunson is undoubtedly the New York Knicks’ most impactful player. Julius Randle, OG Anunoby, and Mitchell Robinson are probably their next most important players. And while Brunson continues to aggressively impact winning night in and night out, the other three have made a combined three appearances in New York’s last 24 games. Still, the […]

On Saturday afternoon, Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks picked up a big win against their crosstown rivals, the Brooklyn Nets, from Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. Brunson actually wasn’t asked to do a whole lot in this game, instead relying on strong performances from Knicks teammates Miles McBride and Donte DiVincenzo en route […]

The New York Knicks need Isaiah Hartenstein back and completely healthy, that much is clear. Hartenstein has done an impressive job of filling in for Mitchell Robinson as the Knicks’ starting center since Robinson underwent ankle surgery in December. But the seven-footer injured his Achilles tendon at some point in February. If he doesn’t get […]

The New York Knicks found themselves as the second-best team in the Eastern Conference not too long ago, prior to the All-Star break. Now, they are quickly sinking in the Eastern Conference standings as a result of numerous injuries. Julius Randle and OG Anunoby are both expected to still miss a chunk of time due […]

The New York Knicks — like every other NBA team — need a center. And given Mitchell Robinson’s injury, Isaiah Hartenstein stepped into the starting center role and immediately became one of the most important players for the Knicks. Hartenstein has become far more than a fill in. The center has surprisingly grown into a […]

The New York Knicks returned to action after the All-Star break on Thursday night against the Philadelphia 76ers, and Isaiah Hartenstein also made his return from injury. Hartenstein has been battling some achilles pain. He was able to play in the win last night for the Knicks, but he didn’t play as much as he […]

Prior to the All-Star break, the New York Knicks were left very shorthanded due to a variety of injuries. Against the Orlando Magic last Wednesday, the Knicks didn’t have Julius Randle, OG Anunoby, Donte DiVincenzo, Isaiah Hartenstein, or Bojan Bogdanovic. On Thursday night against the Philadelphia 76ers in their first game since the All-Star Game, […]

The New York Knicks are coming off a brutal ending to their game against the Houston Rockets on Monday. Not only was Jalen Brunson called for an extremely questionable foul that resulted in a loss, but the officiating crew admitted their error following the game. The Knicks have in turn filed a protest with the […]

Just when morale reaches a high in Madison Square Garden, the New York Knicks (33-19) get smacked with multiple injury updates that are sure to sour fans’ good mood. Following the news that OG Anunoby underwent elbow surgery and will be re-evaluated in three weeks, the team lost another key player during Thursday’s 122-108 home […]

The New York Knicks have another concerning injury to deal with, as big man Isaiah Hartenstein got ruled out for the rest of Saturday night’s home game versus the Toronto Raptors with a lower-body issue. “Isaiah Hartenstein (sore left ankle) is out for the remainder of the game vs. Toronto,” the Knicks public relations department’s […]

Waiving players from a team is typically a sign of believing that you don’t see this type of player fitting on a team in the long run. Often this decision could be a risk, as you may not realize their true potential. This is what happened with the Houston Rockets waiving away NBA prospect and […]

The Isaiah Hartenstein signing was an admittedly underwhelming moment in New York Knicks history. But that could change if he continues playing like he has over the past 13 games. Prior to joining the starting lineup, Hartenstein was an incredibly efficient back-up center. But to most, Mitchell Robinson was clearly the starter. And that was […]

Losing a star player is never easy. Granted, stars are defined differently team to team. But still, major contributors don’t grow on trees. It’s especially chaotic when that player is your defensive anchor. Enter the New York Knicks and Mitchell Robinson. Robinson was having a career-defining season, averaging 6.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks […]

The New York Knicks opened their NBA preseason at Madison Square Garden against the Boston Celtics on Monday, October 9th. The Knicks won 114-107 in a contest where Boston rested their anticipated starters. New York showed some great signs on offense and defense, but there is one area that needs to be addressed before the […]

The New York Knicks, at long last, appear to be on the way up. A 47-win regular season in 2022-23 was their best in a decade, and their 4-1 series win against the Cavaliers was just their second since 2000. A well-rounded roster headlined by a talented triumvirate of guards and a capable front court […]

LOS ANGELES – Isaiah Hartenstein is trying to make the most of his situation with the New York Knicks, a team that’s surprised most this season due in large part to the addition of Jalen Brunson. Still, it certainly feels like the big man should’ve been a member of the Los Angeles Clippers entering the […]

The Los Angeles Clippers performed better than expected with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George out for such an extended period during the 2021-22 campaign. One of the reasons for their overperformance was the breakout season of backup center Isaiah Hartenstein, showing off his ability to function as a playmaking hub on offense. Hartenstein was then […]

The New York Knicks will be forced to try and continue climbing up the Eastern Conference standings without their defensive anchor. After Mitchell Robinson left his team’s loss to the Washington Wizards early with a thumb injury, the Knicks announced on Thursday that he underwent surgery to repair a fractured right thumb and will be […]

The New York Knicks, despite their Monday night loss against the Toronto Raptors, are currently in the middle of a solid, bounce back campaign built mostly off of their torrid stretch to begin December. The addition of Jalen Brunson has been immense, and Julius Randle is even posting comparable numbers to that of his All-Star […]

The New York Knicks are coming off a less than ideal 2021-22 season after finishing six games out of a play-in spot with a 37-45 record. Julius Randle slumped hard after an All-Star 2020-21 campaign, and the rest of the Knicks supporting cast couldn’t pick up the lefty’s slack, including Obi Toppin, Randle’s primary backup, […]

The Los Angeles Clippers emerge from the offseason as a clear title contender, but did it come at a hefty price? The Clippers underperformed last season mainly because of injuries to key players. In fact, Kawhi Leonard’s knee injury from the previous playoffs caused him to miss the whole season. Paul George also played only […]

The New York Knicks made a big splash this offseason, but did they also make a big misstep? The Knicks’ biggest move so far has been snagging hotshot guard Jalen Brunson from the Dallas Mavericks. Other than that, this offseason in New York has been relatively “blah.” That’s not necessarily a negative thing. Truthfully, the […]

The New York Knicks are desperately attempting to build a winning team. They entered the 2021-2022 NBA season with big expectations, but fell well short of their goal. They would have been last season’s greatest disappointment had the Los Angeles Lakers not endured a terrible season. But the Knicks are trying to run it back. […]

Now that Isaiah Hartenstein has officially left for the New York Knicks in free agency, the LA Clippers have to find someone to back Ivica Zubac up.

The Los Angeles Clippers lost a key piece of their bench last week as big man Isaiah Hartenstein secured a two-year, $16 million deal with the New York Knicks.

The New York Knicks got the man they have been salivating over for several months now, as they managed to lure Jalen Brunson away from the Dallas Mavericks to Gotham with a tantalizingly massive contract.

The Chicago Bulls are looking for help in the frontcourt in free agency, especially in the rim protection department because of Nikola Vucevic’s shortcomings in that area.

The Portland Trail Blazers are in the midst of a retooling around Damian Lillard.

Joe Cronin and Co. then selected Shaedon Sharpe with the No. 7 pick instead of trading […]

The LA Clippers have gotten a significant lift from big man Isaiah Hartenstein this season, especially with the slew of injuries they’ve had to deal with.
