Ryan Kalkbrenner (ankle) suffers injury in loss

A sprained left ankle brought a premature end to Ryan Kalkbrenner's performance against the Knicks. Although he came off the bench behind Moussa Diabaté, the rookie center saw the majority of the playing time, logging 25 minutes to record eight points (2-4 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, and three blocks before exiting.
Fantasy Impact:
The injury casts doubt on Kalkbrenner's availability moving forward. If he is forced to miss time, Diabaté would likely retain his spot in the starting lineup, though his production was limited in the loss. Tidjane Salaün could also see an expanded role in the rotation; he was the primary option off the bench when early foul trouble impacted the frontcourt.
