Early sprained his ankle in the first half of Friday's game against the Wizards and will not return.

Early underwent precautionary X-rays, which returned negative, so he should be considered day-to-day moving forward. The Knicks' next game comes Sunday against the 76ers, but the team should provide an update on his status at some point prior to the contest.

Early scored 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt) with six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's loss to the Nets.

Early is averaging 13.3 points, four rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.3 three-pointers over his last four games. The Knicks should give him increased minutes as the season comes to a close so he is worth considering in 12 team leagues.

Early (ankle) scored a team-high 18 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT) with four rebounds and a steal in 25 minutes off the bench Wednesday.

The game was out of reach before the first half was over, which allowed the Knicks' second unit to see plenty of garbage time minutes, but it was still a very encouraging performance for Early after a five game absence. On a roster lacking in established scoring options, Early could have some value over the season's final weeks.

Early (ankle) will play against the Clippers on Wednesday, Ian Begley of ESPN reports.

Early will be available off the bench for the first time in five games after he injured his ankle against the Suns on Mar. 15. His return should cut into the workload of Lance Thomas, who played 38 minutes in Monday's blowout loss to Memphis. Jason Smith (28 minutes Monday) could also see a mild minutes reduction.

Early (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Rowan Kavner of Clippers.com reports.

Early's return will likely mean less playing time for Lance Thomas, who logged 38 minutes in both of the past two games. Early is averaging 20.9 minutes through eight appearances in March, despite being limited to six minutes during the game in which he suffered the ankle injury.

Early (ankle) is not playing Monday, Newsday reports.

Early is missing his fifth straight game with a sprained left ankle, and even if he did return soon, there's no guarantee he'd play enough to warrant using consistently in standard leagues. His next opportunity to return to action will be Wednesday against the Lakers.

Early (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Early is on tap to miss his fourth-straight game Sunday. It's still undetermined how long he'll be off the court, but his next opportunity to play will be against the Grizzlies on Monday.

Early (ankle) didn't play in Friday's game against the Sixers and remains day-to-day.

Early has been off the court for the past three games with a sprained left ankle. The Knicks should shed some light in his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Early (ankle) will not play Thursday and is considered day-to-day.

Early continues to battle a sprained ankle suffered Sunday against the Suns, and he'll be evaluated on a game-to-game basis. For what it's worth, coach Derek Fisher said that Tim Hardaway, Jr., who is out with a wrist injury, has "a little longer" of a return timetable than Early.

Early (ankle) is doubtful to play Thursday against Minnesota.

Early did not play Tuesday against San Antonio after spraining his ankle Sunday versus Phoenix. Coach Derek Fisher said a final call has not been made, but he noted that both Early and Tim Hardaway, Jr. are unlikely to play.

Early (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Spurs, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

Early sprained his ankle during Sunday's game against the Suns, limiting him to only six minutes. With soreness persisting, Early will sit out Tuesday, and he should be considered questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Timberwolves.

Early suffered a sprained left ankle during Sunday's game against the Suns.

Early left after the third quarter, finishing with a turnover as his only stat in six minutes off the bench. He did score double-digit points in three of the previous four games, averaging 24.5 minutes over that span. Tim Hardaway (wrist) also left Sunday's game with an injury, leaving some extra minutes for Lance Thomas, Travis Wear and Shane Larkin.

Early contributed four points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block in 24 minutes against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Early is a staple in the starting lineup as of right now but is still a lackluster option in most formats due to his inability to amount much production. Barring the unforeseen, the rookie will finish up the season as an afterthought in New York.

Early will remain in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Raptors, The Record reports.

Early will start in his second-straight game Saturday, although he was only afforded 20 minutes on the court Friday against the Pistons in a double overtime game so it would be somewhat surprising if he saw significant run Saturday.

Early moved into the starting lineup for Friday's double-overtime game against the Pistons but he was still only given 20 minutes of playing time. He finished with two points, two rebounds, one steal, and one block.

Early started at small forward Friday but he was ultimately afforded the spot in the starting lineup because of Jose Calderon's (Achilles) absence from the court. The veteran point guard is still undergoing further testing so it's unclear whether or not Early will remain in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Raptors. Either way, the rookie struggles to produce and will be a lackluster option regardless of whether he starts or not.

Early will start at small forward against Detroit on Friday.

Early will step back into a starting role at the three spot with Jose Calderon (Achilles) out, which forced Langston Galloway and Tim Hardaway further into the backcourt by taking up the point guard and shooting guard spots, respectively. Early's per-minute production hasn't been impressive, though, and there's no guarantee he'll get much usage Friday.

Early returned to the bench Sunday in the loss to Cleveland. He played just eight minutes and provided two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two rebounds.

Early started Friday against the Heat but failed to make much of an impression with two points and a board. The rookie from Wichita State may need more seasoning in order to be a productive fantasy contributor.

Early will return to a bench role, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

Early started for a game, but will be replaced by Lance Thomas in the starting lineup Sunday. The Wichita State product should continue to get decent playing time off the bench, but he will need to see some injuries to other players to have value in standard leagues going forward.

Early started in place of Tim Hardaway Jr Friday. He scored two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and added one rebound, one assist, and one steal in 23 minutes against the Heat.

Despite the starting nod, Early did little worth noting. Long-term, there is still plenty of room to be optimistic about the rookie's future. For now, however, he holds minimal fantasy value, and he seems unlikely to hold on to the starting job for long.

Early was recalled from the D-League on Saturday, The Record's Steve Popper reports.

This could be a precursor for Carmelo Anthony getting the night off Saturday in the second game of a back-to-back. Early may see 15-25 minutes, but is still a low-end option in daily leagues.
