NEW YORK — Forward OG Anunoby<\/a> exited in the closing minutes of the Knicks’ 108-102<\/a> Game 2 win over the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> on Wednesday night with an apparent leg injury.
Anunoby walked off the floor gingerly following a dunk attempt and then signaled to the bench that he needed to come out of the game following a Mikal Bridges<\/a> jumper that put the Knicks up 103-99 with 2:56 to go.
Asked about Anunoby after the game, Knicks coach Mike Brown deferred to a team spokesman. The Knicks, though, didn’t provide an update on what the specific injury was or whether Anunoby was undergoing testing.
“It looked like he was hopping, but I don’t know anything,” Brown said. “They haven’t told me. I just know he left the game. Nobody said he was back. I haven’t talked to anybody yet.”
Anunoby finished with 24 points, five rebounds, four steals and a block in 37 minutes as the Knicks seized a 2-0 series lead. He entered the night as the Knicks’ second-leading scorer in the playoffs behind Jalen Brunson<\/a>, and its most efficient, shooting 64% from the field and nearly 60% from 3-point range on almost five attempts per night.
Asked about the apparent injury after the game, Brunson said, “I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. I don’t know too much.”
Added Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a>, who had 20 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists and has developed a chemistry with Anunoby in their playoff streak: “I really don’t know. We’ll regroup tomorrow and see what the whole situation is.”
Anunoby was slowed by a left hamstring strain in the 2024 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Indiana Pacers<\/a>, causing him to miss Games 3-6. He attempted to play in Game 7 at Madison Square Garden but lasted just 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 year.
“We’ll see what it is, but it’s next-man up,” Bridges said.
Game 3 is Friday in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
