GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Forward OG Anunoby participated in every drill during the New York Knicks’ practice on Friday, his first full session since straining his right hamstring late in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The 26-year-old sat out Games 3 and 4 of the Knicks’ sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers, then took part only in non-contact portions of Wednesday’s workout. Head coach Mike Brown said Anunoby faced no limitations on Friday.
If the Cleveland Cavaliers close out the Detroit Pistons in Game 6 on Friday night, the Knicks will open the Eastern Conference finals at home on Sunday. A Detroit win would push Game 1 to Tuesday, giving Anunoby two extra days of recovery.
Anunoby is averaging 21.4 points in the postseason while shooting 61.9% from the field and 53.8% from three-point range.
