Achiuwa supplied 20 points (8-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes in Tuesday's 111-105 preseason win over the Hornets.

Achiuwa was inserted into the starting five Tuesday as the Knicks' typical starters rested in the penultimate preseason contest. Achiuwa took advantage of the extended playing time, grabbing a game-high 16 boards (including six on the offensive side of the floor), and he showed off his extended range by connecting on two of three three-point attempts. Achiuwa should see more playing time off the bench to start the 2024-25 regular season while Mitchell Robinson continues to work through a left ankle injury.
