Knicks OG Anunoby practices, but what is his Game 1 status?

OG Anunoby is practicing. Whether he plays in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals is still uncertain.

The New York Knicks forward was a full participant in Monday’s practice, coach Mike Brown told reporters. He stopped short of saying Anunoby would be available for Game 1 on Tuesday, May 19 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Brown deflected when asked about his availability by saying he takes his cues from the medical staff.

The Knicks have reason to be cautious.

Anunoby hurt his left hamstring late in a win over Indiana in the 2024 Eastern Conference semifinals. He missed the next four games before returning for Game 7, only to be pulled after just five minutes when it became clear he lacked mobility. The Knicks seemed to have learned their lesson about rushing him back.
