Anunoby limped to the locker room holding his left hamstring during Wednesday's Game 2 against Indiana, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
After being without Jalen Brunson for portions of the first half, the Knicks could be down Anunoby after he came up limping during the third quarter with what appears to be a left hamstring injury. Until we get an official update from the Knicks, Anunoby should be considered questionable to return. While he's out, Alec Burks, Miles McBride and Precious Achiuwa are the likely candidates for more minutes

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Won't return Wednesday
Rotowire
Anunoby (left hamstring soreness) has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's Game 2 against the Pacers.
Anunoby went straight to the locker room and was grabbing at his left hamstring after a shot attempt late in the third period. He'll be unable to return to the contest, leaving minutes for the likes of Miles McBride, Alec Burks and Precious Achiuwa. Anunoby's status should be monitored closely leading up to Friday's Game 3 at Indiana.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Drops 17 points in loss
Rotowire
Anunoby accumulated 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Thursday's 125-114 loss to the 76ers in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Anunoby provided the Knicks with a boost on the offensive end, although it wasn't enough as they fell to the 76ers. It was another tight matchup between two evenly matched teams. Game 4 will take place in Philadelphia on Sunday, with the Knicks looking to split the road trip in hopes of wrapping up the series at home.
Anunoby (elbow) tallied 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two steals and one rebound across 29 minutes Friday in the Knicks' 108-100 loss to the Bulls.
After appearing in three straight games from March 12 through March 16 following his return from Feb. 8 surgery to remove a loose fragment in his elbow, Anunoby didn't respond as well as hoped in his return to action and was subsequently shut down. Despite the Knicks providing limited updates on Anunoby's progress over the last three weeks, he was surprisingly upgraded to available ahead of Friday's game and took back his spot in the starting five from Miles McBride. Anunoby shot the ball well but wasn't especially impactful in the box score, but the Knicks are likely just happy to have one of their top defenders back in the fold as the postseason nears. Provided his elbow doesn't present any complications moving forward, Anunoby should eventually settle back into a 35-plus-minute role in competitive contests.
