OG Anunoby (Source: Yahoo Sports)
New York Knicks will again be without OG Anunoby due to hamstring in Game 4 of their second-round series against the Indiana Pacers. Meanwhile, Indiana Pacers may be without forward Tyrese Haliburton who is questionable for a key Game 4 on Sunday afternoon, with New York leading the series 2-1.
OG Anunoby strained his left hamstring in the second half of New York Knicks' 130-121 Game 2 victory at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday. He was driving to the rim for a layup when he stumbled up to the backboard and began hopping below the goal. The game continued while he battled along the baseline, and when the game was stopped, he staggered off the court and into the locker room.
He did not come back, and he scored 28 points on 10-of-19 shooting for the game. A subsequent ruling disqualified Anunoby from Game 3. On the other hand, Jalen Brunson did not appear on the team's Saturday injury report despite being doubtful going into Game 3. Due to a right foot ailment, Brunson departed Game 2 during the first quarter and was sidelined for the entirety of the second. But when he came back in the second half, he scored 29 points to help the Knicks win by nine points.
Anunoby averaged 14.1 points in 23 regular-season starts for the Knicks before improving his performance in the playoffs. Before the injury, he had scored 28 points in just under 28 minutes of play, which was his most productive game of the playoffs thus far. Precious Achiuwa replaced Anunoby in Game 3 and made his first playoff start. In 22 minutes, he scored five points, grabbed six rebounds, and blocked three shots.
Tyrese Haliburton misses for Indiana Pacers
Tyrese Haliburton is out for Indiana Pacers because of lower back spasms, a sacral contusion, and a right ankle injury. He hobbled painfully down the steps to the podium, aided by both rails, for his post-Game 2 press conference.
Despite his various injuries, Haliburton felt sure that he'd be ready for Game 4. The fourth game between the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks comes on Sunday.
