OG Anunoby News, Rumors, Updates - New York Knicks

Progressing in recovery Coach Tom Thibodeau said Tuesday that Anunoby (hamstring) is getting in some "light work on the court", Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Anunoby has already been ruled out for Game 5 on Tuesday, marking his third straight absence due to a left hamstring strain. While the 25-year-old forward is progressing in his recovery, his status for Game 6 on Friday is in doubt.

Will miss Game 5 Anunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Pacers.

Impact Anunoby will miss a third straight game due to a left hamstring strain. After winning the first two matchups of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Knicks have lost back-to-back games without Anunoby. Precious Achiuwa should continue to start at power forward, while Anunoby's next chance to suit up will come Friday in Game 6. Over the weekend, Anunoby was able to get a pool workout in, but he hasn't resumed running yet.

Not running yet Anunoby (hamstring) hasn't started running yet, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reported Sunday.

Impact Coach Tom Thibodeau said Sunday that Anunoby had been doing "pool work" and hasn't started running yet as he rehabs a left hamstring injury he sustained in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. It seems as though Anunoby has a ways to go before returning to the hardwood, putting his status for the rest of the series in serious jeopardy.

Ruled out for Game 4 Anunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Game 4 against the Pacers.

Impact This is hardly a surprise given how tricky hamstring injuries are to deal with. Anunoby has been traveling with the team and is likely getting treatment around the clock. In the meantime, the Knicks are likely to play a very tight rotation with Alec Burks getting extended run in Game 4.

Travels with team Anunoby (hamstring) traveled with the Knicks to Indiana ahead of Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Anunoby has already been ruled out for Game 3 due to left hamstring soreness. However, the 25-year-old forward's presence with the team suggests his injury won't sideline him for a significant period of time.

Ruled out for Game 3 Anunoby (hamstring) has been ruled out for Game 3 against the Pacers on Friday.

Impact This is a brutal blow to the Knicks, as it'll be tough to replace what Anunoby brings to the team. His absence should open up minutes for Precious Achiuwa and Alec Burks, and guys like Josh Hart and Donte DiVincenzo will be asked to step it up on offense. Anunoby's next chance to play will come Sunday.

Won't return Wednesday Anunoby (left hamstring soreness) has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's Game 2 against the Pacers.

Impact Anunoby went straight to the locker room and was grabbing at his left hamstring after a shot attempt late in the third period. He'll be unable to return to the contest, leaving minutes for the likes of Miles McBride, Alec Burks and Precious Achiuwa. Anunoby's status should be monitored closely leading up to Friday's Game 3 at Indiana.

MAY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Heads to locker room Anunoby limped to the locker room holding his left hamstring during Wednesday's Game 2 against Indiana, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact After being without Jalen Brunson for portions of the second half, the Knicks could be down Anunoby after he came up limping during the third quarter with what appears to be a left hamstring injury. Until we get an official update from the Knicks, Anunoby should be considered questionable to return. While he's out, Alec Burks, Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa are the likely candidates for more minutes

Impact Anunoby put forth a well-rounded performance to help New York take a commanding 3-1 lead over Philadelphia, finishing second on the team in scoring and rebounds en route to a double-double performance. Anunoby, who also recorded a team-high-tying trio of blocks, recorded his first double-double of the postseason while posting his fourth consecutive game in double figures in scoring.

Impact Anunoby provided the Knicks with a boost on the offensive end, although it wasn't enough as they fell to the 76ers. It was another tight matchup between two evenly matched teams. Game 4 will take place in Philadelphia on Sunday, with the Knicks looking to split the road trip in the hopes of wrapping up the series at home.

Modest numbers in return Anunoby (elbow) tallied 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two steals and one rebound across 29 minutes Friday in the Knicks' 108-100 loss to the Bulls.

Impact After appearing in three straight games from March 12 through March 16 following his return from Feb. 8 surgery to remove a loose fragment in his elbow, Anunoby didn't respond as well as hoped in his return to action and was subsequently shut down. Despite the Knicks providing limited updates on Anunoby's progress over the last three weeks, he was surprisingly upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game and took back his spot in the starting five from Miles McBride. Anunoby shot the ball well but wasn't especially impactful in the box score, but the Knicks are likely just happy to have one of their top defenders back in the fold as the postseason nears. Provided his elbow doesn't present any complications moving forward, Anunoby should eventually settle back into a 35-plus-minute role in competitive contests.

In the starting lineup Anunoby (elbow) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Bulls.

Impact No surprise here, as Anunoby was previously upgraded to probable. There's no word of any restrictions ahead of tipoff, and Miles McBride will return to the bench with Anunoby cleared.

Upgraded to probable Anunoby (elbow) is probable for Friday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Anunoby is expected to make his return Friday following a nine-game absence due to lingering discomfort in his surgically repaired right elbow. He's yet to come off the bench as a Knick, but the veteran forward will likely face major restrictions if he's cleared to suit up, as he's appeared in just three games since Jan. 27.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out, but taking contact Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau said prior to Thursday's 120-109 win over the Kings that Anunoby (elbow) has been cleared for contact and has resumed 5-on-5 practice, Peter Bottle...

Impact Anunoby is still expected to miss a 10th consecutive game Friday in Chicago after he experienced lingering discomfort in his surgically repaired elbow upon returning and playing in three straight games in mid-March, but his ability to resume taking contact is a monumental step forward in his recovery process. Because the Knicks won't hold a practice Saturday since Friday's game marks the second leg of a back-to-back set, Anunoby will presumably remain out for Sunday's game in Milwaukee, but a return to action at some point during the final week of the regular season for the Knicks' four-game slate could be realistic. Anunoby's eventual return will likely be most detrimental to Miles McBride, who has started each of the last nine games that Anunoby has missed and is averaging a whopping 44.7 minutes per contest over that stretch.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Thursday Anunoby (elbow) will remain on the sidelines for Thursday's game against the Kings.

Impact Anunoby hasn't played since March 16 and remains without a clear timetable to return. Until we receive reports of Anunoby getting through practices, we can assume he's still not close. Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo and Miles McBride will continue to pick up the slack in his absence.

APRIL 3 • ROTOWIRE

Will remain sidelined Tuesday Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Miami.

Impact Anunoby has been dealing with an elbow injury over the second half of the season and will be unavailable once again Tuesday. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but he hasn't been able to do much activity recently, and he's running out of time to return before the end of the regular season. Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo and Miles McBride should continue to see increased run.
