How long will OG Anunoby be out?
Anunoby diagnosed with right hamstring strain; day-to-day
Knicks forward OG Anunoby has been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain and is expected to be day-to-day, according to sources cited by ESPN’s Shams Charania. The injury is tied to Game 2 of New York’s Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Philadelphia 76ers, and it has left his availability in Game 3 in doubt.
Why it matters for New York
Anunoby’s role goes beyond scoring—he is a key contributor on the defensive end and in matchup situations. Because the Knicks are already operating in high-leverage playoff games, even a short absence can force New York to reshuffle rotations and defensive assignments.
What’s known
- The injury is specifically a right hamstring strain.
- He is considered day-to-day.
- His status for Game 3 is listed as questionable in the available reporting.
What’s not specified
The coverage excerpt does not provide additional specifics such as the severity grade of the strain, an expected number of missed practices, or a concrete return date.
Next steps to monitor
The immediate storyline will be his day-to-day progression leading up to Game 3 and whether the Knicks can confirm he’s able to practice and be cleared. If he can’t go, New York’s margin for error tightens further in a series where every possession and lineup tweak matters.
