Narrowly defeated in Game 3, the Knicks will not be able to count on OG Anunoby to bounce back. As expected, the absence of the winger has been confirmed for Game 4, the British-Nigerian player still being affected in the left hamstring since his injury in the third quarter of Game 2 between the Knicks and the Pacers.
The New York franchise made the news official yesterday, OG Anunoby appearing alongside Bojan Bogdanovic, Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson among those absent from the Knicks squad.
If the other three are already “out” for the season, the hope of reinstating OG Anunoby before the end of this series remains, why not for Game 5 on the occasion of the return of the series to New York ? For the moment, it seems complicated, even if the winger receives treatments two to three times a day on the affected area.
If there is not much good news, including this frustrating defeat in Game 3, Knicks fans can be happy to see Jalen Brunson still standing.
Hit in the foot, also since Game 2, the former Dallas player has strong leather and therefore does not appear on the injured list published by the New York franchise. His counterpart Tyrese Haliburton is making his return, listed as doubtful by the Pacers due to back and right ankle pain…
