After walking off the court, OG Anunoby was seen getting worked on by the New York Knicks’ training staff. He didn’t walk back to the locker room, which suggests that a significant injury was prevented. Later, he was seen pedaling on a stationary bike in the tunnel before joining his teammates on the sidelines. According to reports, he told the Knicks’ staff that he was okay, and he could have been able to go back to the game if needed.
According to Ian Begley, New York Knicks’ head coach Mike Brown said that the 28-year-old suffered a cramp in his left leg and there is nothing serious about his injury. It is to be noted that Anunoby was listed as probable for the game against the Boston Celtics on Friday with a minor ankle injury. However, his status was later upgraded to available, and recorded 10 points, two rebounds, and one assists before the injury finished his game early.
