Knicks' OG Anunoby out with hamstring strain for Game 3 vs. 76ers, still considered 'day-to-day'
Key Points:
- Knicks forward OG Anunoby will miss Game 3 against the 76ers due to a right hamstring strain sustained late in Game 2, with his status currently day-to-day.
- Anunoby exited Game 2 after appearing to pull his hamstring during a play in the fourth quarter and did not return, despite having scored 24 points and contributing significantly on both ends of the floor.
- Head coach Mike Brown was unable to provide detailed updates on Anunoby’s condition before Game 3, while confirming that Josh Hart and Mitchell Robinson will be available.
- Anunoby has been a key two-way player for the Knicks in the 2026 playoffs, averaging 21 points and shooting over 60% from the field, making his absence a significant challenge for New York moving forward.
- Sources indicate Anunoby’s injury is minor and not expected to require a long recovery, but the Knicks will need multiple players to step up in his absence as the series continues in Philadelphia.
