Latest Precious Achiuwa Injury Update Deals Major Damage to Knicks’ Million Gamble Ahead of Season Opener

The New York Knicks have been careful with their roster for the 2024/25 season. Keeping in mind, the strict salary cap aprons, they were able to re-sign the Nigerian Wonderboy Precious Achiuwa. Well, many might say that the 25YO gambled himself for a $6 Million deal. But coach Tom Thibodeau was looking forward to positioning Achiuwa as the power forward of the team. Unfortunately, the tables have turned towards the unwanted.

ESPN’s senior NBA insider, Shams Charania has shared some fresh and disheartening updates from within the Knicks squad. The team has sidelined Precious Achiuwa due to an injury and has not provided any additional details regarding the severity. Charania reported: “Knicks say Precious Achiuwa suffered a strained left hamstring and will be re-evaluated in two to four weeks.” Thus, the ex-McDonald’s All-American will miss at least two to four weeks of the 2024/25 NBA Regular Season. This situation might present some new dilemmas before the Knicks, but surely they’ll have a backup plan to deal with it.

Teams do not want to see their important players sidelined just before the Regular Season begins. The Knickerbockers will rely on Karl-Anthony Towns if Precious Achiuwa remains benched. Of course, the team would be concerned about the 25-year-old star’s recovery. So, will his self-gambling yield good results at the end of the season, or will this hamstring injury write a whole new story?
