Knicks’ OG Anunoby diagnosed with right hamstring strain, listed as day-to-day

NEW YORK — The Knicks could be without OG Anunoby for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The forward has been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain ahead of Friday night’s game in Philadelphia and is considered day-to-day. Anunoby appeared to tweak his leg with about three minutes left in the Knicks’ 108-102 win over the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 2 at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.

On the same possession in which he seemed to come up hobbled, Anunoby missed a dunk attempt, then signaled to the Knicks’ bench that he needed to sub out. He left the game with 2:31 remaining and did not return. The Knicks did not have an update on Anunoby’s status after Wednesday’s win, with coach Mike Brown saying at his postgame press conference, “He looked like he was hopping.

I have not talked to [the] medical [staff] yet. ” The Knicks boast a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven playoff series, but any missed time by Anunoby would serve as a blow. Anunoby scored 24 points on 9-of-17 shooting with five rebounds and four steals in 37 minutes in Wednesday night’s win.

He is averaging 21. 4 points per game this postseason — second on the Knicks to only Jalen Brunson (27. 4).
