Rotowire
Anunoby (hamstring) checked back in to Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Anunoby went to the locker room after appearing to be bothered by a hamstring issue during the first quarter, but he was later spotted back on the bench wearing a wrap on his leg and was ultimately cleared to check back in with 4:58 remaining in the first half. His health will be worth monitoring the rest of the way Monday.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Exits to locker room Monday
Rotowire
Anunoby exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent hamstring injury during the first quarter of Monday's Game 4 against the Celtics, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Anunoby appeared to hurt his hamstring in the first quarter but stayed in the game. However, he didn't return to the bench at the start of the second. If the 27-year-old forward is unable to return, Mitchell Robinson and Precious Achiuwa are candidates for a bump in minutes.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Struggles in blowout loss
Rotowire
Anunoby supplied two points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 31 minutes during Saturday's 115-93 loss to the Celtics in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Anunoby delivered another lackluster performance in Saturday's blowout loss, scoring fewer than six points for the second straight outing. The 27-year-old forward erupted for 29 points in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, though he has totaled only seven points while shooting 3-for-15 from the field over his last two games. Anunoby will likely need to step up if the team hopes to take a 3-1 series lead against the Celtics on Monday. He has averaged 12.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 steals across 38.3 minutes per game in three second-round appearances.

Rotowire

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Goes cold from deep
Rotowire
Anunoby amassed 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals over 42 minutes during Monday's 100-94 loss to the Pistons in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Anunoby makes most of his impact on the defensive end of the floor, but he can still make his presence felt offensively on a nightly basis. However, that wasn't the case in Game 2 on Monday, as he struggled to score, missing all his attempts from beyond the arc while barely reaching double digits, which is drastically different from his 23-point performance in Game 1.
Anunoby finished with 23 points (8-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and five steals in 44 minutes during Saturday's 123-112 victory over the Pistons in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Anunoby tied Karl-Anthony Towns for most points on the Knicks behind Jalen Brunson (34), but Anunoby made his defensive presence felt with five of the Knicks' 12 steals in the win. Anunoby finished the regular season averaging a career-high 18.0 points per game, which ballooned to 21.2 points per game following the All-Star break, some of which coincided with Brunson being sidelined due to an ankle injury.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Will play Friday
Rotowire
Anunoby (thumb) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
The Knicks will be close to full strength for this game, and Anunoby should operate as one of the go-to weapons on offense due to the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee). Anunoby is averaging 26.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game over his previous 10 appearances.
