New York, NY – New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby exited Friday’s game against the Miami Heat in the first quarter due to a left hamstring strain and did not return. At the 6:52 mark of the opening quarter, Anunoby appeared to injure his hamstring after missing a layup on a fast break. He immediately grabbed the back of his left leg and was escorted to the locker room. The Knicks announced his absence for the remainder of the game shortly thereafter.
Prior to the injury, Anunoby had contributed two points and three rebounds in five minutes of play. He entered the game averaging 17.1 points and 5.8 rebounds per contest this season. Anunoby’s injury adds to the Knicks’ current challenges, as they were already without star point guard Jalen Brunson, who is sidelined with a right ankle sprain sustained in Wednesday’s loss to the Orlando Magic.
In Anunoby’s absence, the Knicks secured a 140-132 victory over the Heat. Landry Shamet stepped up, scoring a career-high 36 points off the bench, while Jordan Clarkson added 24 points. Josh Hart also contributed a triple-double with 12 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists. The Knicks have not provided a timeline for Anunoby’s return, and his status will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis.
