As the New York Knicks look to complete a sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 4 on Sunday, all eyes are on OG Anunoby's status. The versatile forward remains listed as questionable after nursing a "minor" hamstring injury sustained late in Game 2. With the Knicks already securing a commanding 3-0 series lead without their Swiss army knife, the big question is: should they bring him back at all?
As of Sunday morning, no final decision has been made. "He's still day-to-day," head coach Mike Brown confirmed Saturday. But don't expect the series situation to rush his return. "Not for me," Brown emphasized. "It's all medical-related. It starts with the doctors and OG. All I want them to do is tell me when he can play."
This cautious approach makes sense for a player who has been a defensive anchor for the Knicks all season. Anunoby's ability to guard multiple positions and knock down corner threes has been crucial to New York's success, but with a potential deep playoff run ahead, the team is prioritizing long-term health over short-term gains. For now, fans will have to wait and see if the Knicks can close out the series without their key contributor—or if OG gets the green light to help seal the deal.
