Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 7/22/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
It was a revolving door for the Austin FC backline last season, with Hines-Ike establishing himself as the first-choice center-back on the lineup sheet. Hines-Ike started 25 matches, which is the most of his four-year MLS career. The acquisition from D.C. United amassed 2,221 minutes, his highest since 2017 with Orebro in Sweden. A new coach could change the pecking order, especially with the quality options (Oleksandr Svatok, Julio Cascante and Leo Vaisanen) the team has at its disposal. Hines-Ike had his option exercised but has some risk going into the 2025 season.
Forced off Sunday
Hines-Ike was unable to continue after suffering an apparent injury in the first half of Sunday's 2-2 draw against Minnesota United.
ANALYSIS
Hines-Ike limped off the pitch with physical discomfort shortly before halftime during the draw. He's now questionable for upcoming action and could miss a few weeks if he's dealing with a muscular problem. His substitute Jonathan Bell might have a chance to start at center-back if the issue leaves Hines-Ike out of future games.
