Knicks' Ariel Hukporti: Not starting vs. Philadelphia

Hukporti won't start against the 76ers on Saturday.

With Karl-Anthony Towns (illness) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) both available and starting, Hukporti will slide to the second unit. The second-year center has averaged 1.5 points and 2.4 rebounds in 8.3 minutes per game across 17 appearances off the bench this season.
