Knicks-76ers Notes: OG Anunoby's status in question; Mikal Bridges has 'great game' on both ends
A few notes following the Knicks' Game 2 win over the Philadelphia 76ers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals to take a 2-0 series lead.
How do you replace 21. 4 points, 7. 5 rebounds and 1.
8 steals per game in the middle of a playoff series? The Knicks may need to find an answer to that question. Late in their Game 2 win over the Philadelphia 76ers , OG Anunoby suffered a leg injury.
He left the court with 2:31 to play and the Knicks up by six. He did not return. That fact alone tells you that Anunoby was in discomfort.
The Knicks would obviously want Anunoby on the floor late in a close game -- even if he was limited by injury. They closed the game without Anunoby, beating the Sixers to take a 2-0 lead. But after the game, Anunoby was not available to reporters.
