New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby has been diagnosed with a right hamstring strain and is considered day-to-day, multiple media outlets reported Thursday.


Anunoby left Wednesday’s Game 2 of the Eastern Conference second-round series with 2:31 remaining in the fourth quarter. Before exiting, he posted 24 points, five rebounds, and four steals to help lead the Knicks to a 108-102 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.


With the victory, New York now holds a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.


The 28-year-old forward is listed as questionable for Game 3 on Friday in Philadelphia.


In his second full season with the Knicks following a December 2023 trade from the Toronto Raptors, Anunoby is averaging 21.4 points and 7.5 rebounds through eight playoff games. During the regular season, he averaged 16.7 points and 5.2 rebounds across 67 games.
