The Knicks aren't expected to retain Henson (calf) after his 10-day contract expired Thursday, Marc Berman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
New York brought in Henson on April 5 to provide depth at center after Mitchell Robinson underwent foot surgery, but the 30-year-old never got the chance to debut for the Knicks. He suffered a right calf strain in his second day practicing with the team and been ruled out ahead of four straight games with the injury. The Knicks could revisit re-signing Henson once he recovers from the calf injury, but the team is presumably more interested in bringing in a healthy player to fill the final opening on its roster for the time being.

Henson (calf) is out Wednesday against the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
A strained calf will prevent Henson from making his Knicks debut. He's on a 10-day contract, so his chances are running out.

Henson (calf) will not play Monday against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Henson signed with the Knicks last week but immediately picked up a strained calf which will now keep him out of a fourth consecutive game. When healthy, Henson will provide depth up front, but he almost certainly won't be fantasy relevant.

EDGE Analysis
A right calf strain will prevent Henson from making his Knicks debut again. His next chance to play is Monday against the Lakers.

Henson (recently signed) will not play Wednesday against the Celtics, Alder Almo of Empire Sports Media reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henson signed a 10-day deal with the Knicks on Monday, but he's not yet available to take the court. Once he's ready to play, he's only expected to be a depth option at center.

Henson signed a 10-day contract with the Knicks on Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran big man split last season between the Pistons and Cavaliers but has not appeared in an NBA game in 2020-21. He'll provide depth at center for a Knicks team that's without Mitchell Robinson (foot) for several more weeks, but with Nerlens Noel, Taj Gibson and Norvel Pelle on the roster, Henson's role will likely be quite limited.

Henson (ankle) is expected to miss roughly a week due to a sprained ankle, Rod Beard of the Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henson had started the last six games at center, but he'll likely cede the position to Thon Maker for the next two games. Looking ahead, the Pistons play Wednesday and Saturday of this week, so Henson figures to miss both of those contests before a potential return next Tuesday (March 17) against Orlando or next Friday (March 20) against Golden State.

Henson produced 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 22 minutes during Sunday's 106-100 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Henson drew the start alongside Christian Wood (foot) with Thon Maker (ankle) sidelined. Furthermore, Henson chipped in across every category except threes and has earned at least 20 minutes in three of the last four outings. Maker may be able to return for Wednesday's tilt against the Thunder, but Henson may be in line for another serving of 20-plus minutes regardless.

Henson is starting Tuesday's game at Denver, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Henson delivered eight points, seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks off the bench during Sunday's loss to the Trail Blazers, and he'll make his way into the starting five Tuesday. His 23 minutes in that game was his highest total since being acquired by the Pistons in early February, so he could be set for a similar workload against the Nuggets.
