A day after he appeared on target to play in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby was ruled out of Sunday’s contest with a right hamstring strain.
“He’s out for tonight but he’s the same thing, he’s day-to-day (moving forward),” Knicks head coach Mike Brown said Sunday.
The Knicks have a 3-0 lead in the series against the Philadelphia 76ers, allowing them to be cautious with Anunoby’s recovery.
Anunoby also missed Game 3 when the Knicks earned a 108-94 victory at Philadelphia. Game 4 is set for Philadelphia as well.
The 28-year-old has averaged 21.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks over eight playoff games, while shooting 53.8% from 3-point range and 61.9% overall.
