Multiple outlets report that Knicks forward OG Anunoby is recovering from a strained right hamstring and participates only in limited practice at times as the team prepares for the Eastern Conference finals. The injury is described as a hamstring strain that caused him to miss the final two games of New York’s Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Philadelphia 76ers. By later practice sessions, he resumes work with the team, including participating in parts of practice, though New York coach Mike Brown says his availability for the start of the Eastern Conference finals remains uncertain and that the team is proceeding “day by day.” One report describes Anunoby as not fully practicing yet, while another says he returns to practice again and has been a full participant for at least some recent days, with him indicating the current hamstring issue is less severe than a prior injury. Additional coverage also describes his return to games as mixed early on, with him regaining his form and producing points after being held back by the injury during an Eastern Conference finals Game 1 return. The overall timeline and status remain subject to day-to-day updates.
