OG Anunoby will miss a second straight game with a hamstring strain, coach Mike Brown told reporters ahead of Game 4 against the Sixers.
Miles McBride started in Anunoby’s place two nights ago, and there’s little reason to assume that would change today.
While Anunoby’s injury has been described as minor, he wasn’t able to go for Game 3. Now, with the Knicks holding a 3-0 lead in the series, they have some cushion to play with for Anunoby. If they win today, the Knicks should have a decent amount of time off before the conference finals — against either the Pistons or Cavaliers — starts, with Detroit holding a 2-1 lead in that series. Presumably, their hope would be to get Anunoby back for Game 1.
Of course, they’ll have to finish the job against the Sixers first. That will require winning today in Philadelphia without Anunoby.
