OG Anunoby is expected to return to the Knicks rotation soon. During a recent episode of ESPN’s NBA Countdown, Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the veteran forward is “on schedule” with his recovery.
“There were no hiccups,” Wojnarowski said. “They will re-evaluate him at the end of next week, and then the hope is that he starts to get back on the field”.
The Knicks remained competitive in Anunoby’s absence. However, head coach Tom Thibodeau is eagerly awaiting his return to the lineup. His presence on the roster elevates New York to a different level, especially in the defensive phase. Of course, the Knicks are still waiting for Julius Randle to return from injury, and there’s still no guarantee that Mitchell Robinson will return this season.
