The New York Knicks will go up against the Indiana Pacers in Game 3 without forward OG Anunoby, who has been benched due to his left hamstring issue. Anunoby got injured in this win against the Pacers, which led him to leave the game earlier.
Injury Details:
Anunoby’s injury happened in the second half of Game 2, when he was turning toward the baseline for a layup. The abrupt halt by the point guard near the backboard, showing discomfort, and his inability to participate in the next game were quite obvious. In spite of his earlier exit as an Anunoby, he recorded 28 points to contribute to the Knicks’ attack.
Uncertain Recovery Timeline:
The degree of Anunoby’s hamstring injury was determined, making it hard to say whether he is going to take part in the next matches or not. With Game 4 right around the corner on Wednesday, the Knicks have uncertainty about whether Anunoby will be able to rejoin the lineup or not.
Jalen Brunson’s status:
At the same time, starting guard Jalen Brunson listed as questionable for Game 3 because of a right foot injury. While Brunson seemed to leave the game in the first quarter, he came back and continued with his impeccable display, ending the game with 29 points and helping the Knicks to a win.
Series Outlook:
With OG Anunoby sidelined and Brunson’s availability thrown into question, the Knicks remain 2-0 winners over the Pacers. As they aim to progress to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in two decades, the New York Knicks will try to overcome the injury issues and keep on gaining success in Game 3 against the Pacers.
Not happening.
Hell no.
We’re 26-5 throughout 31 games alongside O.G. Anunoby with a winning percentage of .838% which is on pace for 68.7 Wins throughout an entire season; and he’s already the greatest All-Around Defender I’ve ever witnessed within Knicks Franchise History.… https://t.co/vbI1GuIFxU pic.twitter.com/8SOgRqfqBz
