dailyloe.com – OG Anunoby of the New York Knicks has been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain and is considered day-to-day. Sources informed ESPN’s Shams Charania that the strain is not serious, allowing for ongoing treatment and evaluations.

The Knicks have listed Anunoby as questionable for Game 3 against the Philadelphia 76ers. He left the court gingerly after a dunk attempt in Game 2, indicating to the bench that he needed to exit the game.

In Game 2, Anunoby scored 24 points, had five rebounds, four steals, and one block in 37 minutes. This performance contributed to the Knicks’ 108-102 victory, giving them a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Anunoby is the Knicks’ second-leading scorer in the playoffs, trailing only Jalen Brunson. He has displayed impressive shooting, with 64% from the field and nearly 60% from three-point range on close to five attempts per game.

Last year, during the 2024 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Indiana Pacers, Anunoby dealt with a left hamstring strain that sidelined him for Games 3-6. The ongoing evaluations will determine his availability for future games.
