Knicks' OG Anunoby: Solid showing Monday, won't play Tuesday
Rotowire
Anunoby totaled 15 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three steals, two rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes in Monday's 122-104 preseason loss to Minnesota. He won't play Tuesday against Toronto for rest purposes, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
Anunoby put forth a solid scoring effort, fueled by perfection at the charity stripe, while also matching a game high with three steals in the loss. The veteran wing has scored in double figures in each of his three preseason appearances, but he'll be inactive for the second half of the back-to-back set Tuesday at Toronto. Anunoby's next chance to suit up will come Thursday, also against the Raptors.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Solid effort in preseason loss
Rotowire
Anunoby recorded 10 points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block across 19 minutes in Thursday's 111-109 preseason loss to the Wizards.
Anunoby delivered a balanced performance during his limited playing time and made his presence felt on both ends of the court. Scoring numbers aside, as he was one of three starters to hit double-digit points, Anunoby collected two offensive rebounds and added a steal and a block, demonstrating the defensive versatility that makes him an important part of New York's starting lineup. He's expected to see limited playing time in the rest of the preseason, but his role as the Knicks' starting small forward ahead of the new season is set in stone.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Nets 12 points with six boards
Rotowire
Anunoby contributed 12 points (3-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT) and six rebounds over 14 minutes in Monday's 120-97 preseason loss to the 76ers.
The Knicks' starters were only available for the first half of Monday's exhibition, but Anunoby looked good in his limited floor time, and his six boards were a team high. Anunoby was a third-round producer last season with averages of 16.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 2.3 triples, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks per contest, and he should see similar production as he enters his age-29 season.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Cools off offensively in Game 5
Rotowire
Anunoby contributed 11 points (3-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, one block and three steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 94-90 win over the Spurs in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
Anunoby was the hero of Game 4. However, he wasn't as productive or efficient in Game 5, going 3-for-11 from the field and 0-for-2 from deep. Still, despite the subpar offensive performance, the 28-year-old was instrumental in helping the Knicks claim their first championship since 1973. As expected, Anunoby had a quality 2025-26 campaign, averaging 16.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 blocks and 1.6 steals in 67 regular-season appearances. He also shot higher than 38.0 percent from deep for the sixth time in his career. Anunoby is committed to New York for two more seasons, though it could be more if he accepts a player option in 2028-29. With that in mind, unless the Knicks get a substantial offer, he is expected to remain in the Big Apple, where he is projected to see plenty of minutes as a starter moving ahead.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Plays hero in Game 4 win
Rotowire
Anunoby supplied 33 points (10-15 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 41 minutes in Wednesday's 107-106 win over the Spurs in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
Anunoby finished second on the Knicks in scoring with an extremely efficient performance, and he put back a game-winning tip-in off a missed Jalen Brunson three-pointer in the closing seconds. Brunson and Anunoby combined for 69 points as New York rallied from a 29-point deficit. The 28-year-old forward has been outstanding this postseason, scoring 17 or more points in six straight games and at least 28 points in each of the last two. Anunoby and the Knicks will now turn their attention to Saturday's Game 5 in San Antonio, where they'll look to secure the franchise's first championship since 1973.

Anunoby scored 28 points, eclipsing 20 points for just the second time in his past seven games. With that said, he has been arguably the most consistent player for the Knicks this postseason, averaging 18.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.1 three-pointers and 2.1 combined steals and blocks in his past seven appearances.

Rotowire
Anunoby (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the 76ers.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Day-to-day with hamstring strain
Rotowire
Anunoby was diagnosed with a right hamstring strain and is day-to-day moving forward, Shams Charania of ESPN reports Thursday.
Anunoby tweaked his hamstring late in Game 2 and will be questionable for Game 3 on Friday. He's been outstanding in the playoffs with 21.4 points per contest. If Anunoby misses time, the Knicks could lean more on Miles McBride, Jordan Clarkson and Landry Shamet. However, per Stefan Bondy of The New York Post, Anunoby's hamstring strain is considered "very, very minor."

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Exits game with leg issue
Rotowire
Anunoby registered 24 points (9-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 108-102 victory over Philadelphia in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. However, he seemed to suffer a leg injury late in the game.
Anunoby seemed to tweak something in the back of his right leg with three minutes remaining in the match, and after subbing out, he did not return to the game. Coach Mike Brown declined to provide an update on Anunoby's leg issue after the game, simply saying, "he looked like he was hopping," per Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News. For now, Anunoby should be considered questionable for Game 3 in Philly on Friday.

Anunoby needed only seven field-goal attempts to record 18 points in this blowout win, finishing as New York's second-leading scorer while playing just three quarters. The 28-year-old forward has been on a tear of late, scoring 17-plus points in five straight games while chipping in at least one block in each of the last six. He'll look to stay productive on both ends of the floor as the Knicks aim to take a 2-0 series lead in Game 2 on Wednesday.
