OG Anunoby is making progress.
For the first time since he suffered a mild right hamstring strain late in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the 76ers, the standout two-way wing took part in practice Wednesday.

Anunoby practiced on a limited basis, and coach Mike Brown stopped short of saying he would be available for Game 1 of the conference finals, although there is optimism within the organization that he will be ready once that series begins, sources told The Post’s Stefan Bondy.

“Anytime anybody’s able to do stuff, you’re encouraged,” Brown said. “That’s what [the medical team] told me he can do today, and I’ll wait until Friday to see what he can do [then]. … The stuff that he went through, he looked fine.”
Asked if Anunoby is able to sprint, Brown declined to answer, and a media relations staffer said that Anunoby is doing individual work.

“At least for me, I’m taking it one [day] at a time,” Brown said. “I don’t want to know from medical or anybody else anything but beyond that, because when I do that stuff, I get my hopes up. I don’t like doing that at all.”
Anunoby missed the last two games of the sweep over the 76ers. He was listed as questionable for both of those contests.
The 6-foot-7 wing was having a sensational postseason before the injury, averaging 21.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks. He was also shooting an absurd 53.8 percent from 3-point range on 4.9 attempts per game.
The Knicks did some live work in practice on Wednesday, meaning full contact.
