Will OG Anunoby play in Game 3 for Knicks? 'Optimism' in possible return

Could the New York Knicks get star OG Anunoby back for Game 3 or Game 4 with his hamstring strain ? Per SNY's Ian Begley , the Knicks' locker room has "optimism" that Anunoby could return for one of the team's away games in Philadelphia for its second-round NBA playoff series. Obviously, Anunoby playing in either one of the away playoff games for New York would be huge in helping the Knicks reach the Eastern Conference Finals.

If he's healthy and ready to play, we have no doubt that New York will have a much easier time in dispatching the 76ers in possible. This update is a huge boost from where earlier speculation with Anunoby was on Wednesday night right after the injury. There is "optimism" within the Knicks' locker room that OG Anunoby will be able to play in Game 3 or Game 4 in Philadelphia, @IanBegley reports Ian with more on Anunoby's status: pic.
