New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby has been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain and will be day-to-day, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania on Thursday.

It’s not believed to be a serious strain of the hamstring for Anunoby, allowing him to receive treatment and the sides to decide on his status day by day, a source told Charania.

Anunoby will be listed as questionable for Game 3 on Friday against the Philadelphia 76ers, sources told Charania.

Anunoby walked off the court gingerly in Game 2 after a dunk attempt and then signaled to the bench that he needed to come out of the game following a Mikal Bridges jumper that put the Knicks up 103-99 with 2:56 to go.

  • Brunson, Knicks pull out win, go up 2-0 on 76ers

  • Anunoby finished with 24 points, five rebounds, four steals and a block in 37 minutes as the Knicks seized a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 108-102 victory. He entered as the Knicks’ second-leading scorer in the playoffs behind Jalen Brunson, and its most efficient, shooting 64% from the field and nearly 60% from 3-point range on almost five attempts per game.

    Anunoby was slowed by a left hamstring strain in the 2024 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Indiana Pacers, causing him to sit out Games 3-6. He attempted to play in Game 7 at Madison Square Garden but lasted only five minutes before being pulled as the Knicks lost.

    Any absence this time would be a blow to a Knicks team that is playing at a high level at the most important time of the season.

    “We’ll see what it is, but it’s next man up,” Bridges stated Wednesday night.

    Game 3 is Friday in Philadelphia.
