New York Knicks wing OG Anunoby suffered a left hamstring during Friday night’s 140-132 victory over the Miami Heat and will be reevaluated in two weeks.
Anunoby played just five minutes in that game, posting two points on 1-of-4 shooting in the NBA Cup group-stage matchup at Madison Square Garden.
He will not travel with the Knicks for their upcoming five-game road trip, which begins on Monday night in Miami before heading down to Dallas to face the sputtering Mavericks.
In 12 games this season — the Knicks are 8-4 to start the 2025-26 campaign — the 28-year-old is averaging 15.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game while shooting nearly 40% from three-point range. He is also one of the team’s most invaluable defenders.
This is the second significant injury that the Knicks have faced within the last week. Superstar point guard Jalen Brunson missed Friday’s game due to a sprained ankle and could also miss the entirety of New York’s upcoming road trip. Miles McBride got the start in his place.
Without Anunoby, Landry Shamet and Josh Hart will be leaned on to eat up minutes at the small-forward role.
