Losing OG Anunoby would be a significant blow to the New York Knicks, given his exceptional performance throughout the postseason. The veteran forward has emerged as one of the team’s most pivotal players during their recent playoff surge, particularly since Game 4 of the first round.
Anunoby has delivered on both ends of the court, averaging 21.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.9 steals over 35.3 minutes per game in the playoffs. The Knicks have showcased some of their best basketball during this stretch, with Anunoby’s scoring, defense, and versatility forming a cornerstone of their success.
New York now holds a 2-0 series lead heading into Philadelphia, but attention in the coming days will likely focus heavily on Anunoby’s health status ahead of Game 3.
Anunoby has played nine seasons for the Raptors and Knicks, averaging 13.3 points and 4.5 rebounds in 559 regular-season games, and has won one NBA championship.
