Reports: OG Anunoby expected to be available for Game 1 of Eastern Conference Finals
The Knick wing tweaked his hamstring and missed Game 4 of the sweep of the 76ers, but should be back next round.
Next Tuesday, when the Knicks take the court for the first round of the Eastern Conference Finals, expect OG Anunoby to be back and in the starting lineup. This isn't a surprise. While he tweaked his hamstring in Game 3 against Philadelphia and sat out the final game of the sweep in Game 4, he was expected to play if that series had been extended another game or two.
Now come reports that when the Knicks take the court again he will be out there. Knicks reporter Ian Begley of SNY. tv said this on Tuesday and ESPN’s Shams Charania said the same thing on Wednesday .
Officially, Knicks coach Mike Brown said Wednesday they were taking things one day at a time and he wasn't sure if Anunoby would play in Game 1. That said, he was getting up shots at the team's facility. OG Anunoby is doing shooting after practice.
We’re still not sure if he practiced today yet. Will learn soon. pic.
