The New York Knicks received unexpectedly positive medical news on Wednesday regarding forward OG Anunoby, whose latest examination showed his recent injury is less serious than first feared.
The club has not issued a formal timetable for the 26-year-old’s return, but a team spokesperson said Anunoby remains “day-to-day” and has not been ruled out for Game 3 of the current playoff series. The coaching and medical staffs plan to monitor his progress through Thursday’s off-day treatment sessions before making a final decision.
Anunoby’s status is considered central to the Knicks’ game plan. Even with the upbeat prognosis, staff members indicated they will weigh the long-term implications carefully before clearing him for game action.
Game 3 is set for Friday night.
