New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby was the latest casualty to get bt by the injury bug on the team. In Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinal against the Indiana Pacers, Anunoby came up lame while attempting a fast break layup.
He immediately grabbed his hamstring and went right to the locker room. It did not take long for the New York Knicks to announce him out for the remainder of the game. Reports indicated that it was more than a cramp, which has turned out to be correct.
We have not seen OG Anunoby back on the court since, and the Knicks have gone 1-2 without him. They will attempt to close out their series against the Pacers on Friday night, but he will not be in the lineup.
There was some hope that he may be able to get on the court, but he isn’t quite ready to return. It certainly isn’t from a lack of trying, as OG Anunoby is putting in full shifts to rehab and get his hamstring right.
According to Adam Zagoria of New York Times Sports, Anunoby is working relentlessly in rehab. His sources have revealed that the two-way star is working at least eight hours a day to get his hamstring healthy.
