Analysis:

Andersen went down with a sprained ankle early in Sunday's game against Charlotte and did not return. X-rays on the ankle returned negative, but Andersen is dealing with a fairly severe sprain and will likely miss a handful of games in the short-term. He won't play Tuesday against the Warriors and should be considered very questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Knicks.
