New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby suffered a non-contact injury during the team’s 128-112 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night. The Knicks later revealed that he was diagnosed with a right foot sprain and was unable to return to the game.
Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau mentioned during his postgame press conference that X-rays on Anunoby’s foot came back negative, but he had not received a full medical update at the time. The injury occurred early in the third quarter when Anunoby collapsed to his knees without any contact while in semi-transition play.
Concern arose due to the nature of the injury, but it seems that Anunoby and the Knicks managed to avoid a serious setback. Teammate Josh Hart expressed his hope for Anunoby’s speedy recovery, emphasizing his importance to the team.
Since joining the Knicks from the Toronto Raptors in a trade, Anunoby has been a significant contributor to the team’s success. Prior to the injury, he was averaging 16.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, and two assists per game while also playing a key defensive role for the team.
Despite a history of injuries, Anunoby had been a consistent presence for the Knicks this season, appearing in all 49 games and averaging a career-high in minutes played. His absence will undoubtedly be felt by the team as they navigate the remainder of the season.
