His US Open withdrawal will have a huge affect on Nick Kyrgios's ranking. Last year he reached the quarters and would be defending 360 points (having already lost a total of 225 points from Canada and Cincinnati) as a result he will drop to 465.
How far will Kyrgios drop in event of US Open ranking plummet and why protected ranking and status provides silver lining

Australia’s star Nick Kyrgios’ rankings are supposed to be
impacted in a negative manner after his recent withdrawal from the US Open.
The 28-year-old has been ruled out of the fourth and the
final Grand Slam of the year after failing to recover from an injury.
The development was announced by the US Open's official
Twitter account on Thursday.
Radio and TV commentator Craig Gabriel, in a post on his
official Twitter account, stated that Kyrgios’ rankings might drop to 465 after
the recent development.
The recent setback will be a tough pill to swallow for the Canberra-born
as it will be the first time since turning pro back in 2012-13 that he will
miss all Grand Slams in the calendar year.

The blow has definitely halted Kyrgios’ progress on the
court as he had his best year at the highest level in 2022 where he finally
managed to play in the final of his maiden and till now the only Grand Slam —
Wimbledon.
In that match, he came up against the current world number
two Serbia’s Novak Djokovic and ended on the losing side with a score of 4–6,
6–3, 6–4, 7–6.
