Alarm bells ring at the Knicks: OG Anunoby gets injured before playoffs

OG Anunoby left a worrying note despite the victory of the New York Knicks, who secured the third spot in the East after defeating the Toronto Raptors.

The New York forward suffered an ankle injury at the start of the second quarter, in a play where he collided with Scottie Barnes while fighting for a shot.

Although Anunoby tried to continue playing for a few possessions, he eventually had to leave the game and did not return to play in the entire second half, causing concern among the coaching staff.

Coach Mike Brown did not provide details on the player's condition after the game, leaving the extent of the injury up in the air just days before the start of the playoffs.

This isn't the first time Anunoby has dealt with physical issues this season, having already missed 13 games due to hamstring discomfort and other setbacks.

Margin before the start of playoffs

With the third spot already secured and nothing at stake in the last game of the regular season, the Knicks have several days of margin before the start of the first round.

This time could be crucial for Anunoby's recovery, which will determine the competitive level of New York upon their return to the postseason.
