Man, the Knicks just keep on rollin', even with all these injuries stacking up.
OG Anunoby's the latest casualty, pulling up lame after a layup in the third quarter on Wednesday. The Knicks ain't giving out too many details, but they're saying it's a sore left hammy sidelining him for Game 3 on Friday. Sounds like he's gonna be riding the bench for a few weeks, not just a quick breather. Reminds me of when Zion Williamson and Giannis Antetokounmpo were sidelined with similar hamstring issues during the playoffs.
Anunoby's been a linchpin for the Knicks in the playoffs. Dude's a beast on defense, just the kind of player Thibodeau loves. And on the offensive end? He's been dropping buckets, averaging over 16 points a game and nailing almost 40% from beyond the arc. Wednesday's game was shaping up to be his masterpiece, dropping 28 points before hitting the showers early. And let's not forget, the Knicks are already missing Randle, Robinson, and Bogdanovic due to their own injury woes.
But hey, even with all the setbacks, the Knicks ain't slowing down. They're heading into Indiana with a 2-0 lead against the Pacers. This next game's gonna be crucial for Indiana, but the Knicks ain't feeling the pressure yet. Losing Anunoby's gonna sting, no doubt about it, especially with the way he's been tearing it up lately. But these Knicks, they're fighters, man.
