Hicks tallied 15 points (5-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in the loss Monday to Westchester.

Hicks could continue to miss some time as he bounces between the NBA and the G League, but expect the center to be a fairly consistent source of points and rebounds so long as he takes the court.

Knicks' Isaiah Hicks: Dealing with ankle issue
Hicks hasn't appeared in a game for the G League's Westchester Knicks since Dec. 19 due to a left ankle injury, Chris Priczak of RidiculousUpside.com reports.
It's unclear when Hicks, a two-way player for the Knicks, will be ready to return to game action. After appearing in 18 games at the NBA level as an undrafted rookie in 2017-18, Hicks has played exclusively with the G League affiliate so far this season.

Isaiah Hicks: Scores 27 points
Hicks scored 27 points to go along with nine rebounds and an assist in the 106-95 win over the Canton Charge.
Hicks attempted 19 shots, by far a team high, but that was due in part to a non existent bench as Westchester scored just 16 points combined from its second unit. The forward did cough over six turnovers which helped the Charge hover around perhaps longer than they should have, but Hicks' scoring prowess was nevertheless critical in the win.

Knicks' Isaiah Hicks: Good to go Tuesday
Hicks (groin) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's summer league game against the Lakers, Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic reports.

He's now been cleared for a return on Tuesday and he should slot into the frontcourt rotation.
