Ariel Hukporti Suffers Torn Achilles Tendon Ariel Hukporti has suffered a torn Achilles in Monday's preseason game between the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks. An MRI confirmed the injury on Tuesday and he will undergo surgery immediately.
Hukporti signed a one-year, $3.4 million contract with the Sixers over the offseason.
