OG Anunoby SPEAKS OUT On Elbow Injury Concerns… | Knicks News
We’re always happy to have players come back from injury but obviously the same questions always come to mind will this player reinjure themselves and will they have the same type of impact for OG an anobi his impact not only looks as good as it used to it might look even better
However I think everybody collectively after watching the game against Portland held their breath when OG anobi went in for his steal and then he screamed looking like he reinjured his elbow but thankfully after the game he spoke to the media about that injury scare and
Also if he’s going to play the next game we’re going to break down this and so much more today if you’re not already subscribed to the channel go ahead and hit that subscribe button now and make sure you have notifications turned on so you don’t miss a second of the new content and
Now let’s get started did OG an anobi reinjure his elbow this has probably got to be the most DM question I got sent to me across all channels whether it be social media or in the comments on YouTube regarding OG an anobi with good reason though if you watched the game against the
Portland Trailblazers last night then you already know when OG an anobi continue to go to the bench continue getting worked on by the medical staff on the bench and then if you watched halftime he looked like he was going to go warm up and then he went right back
To the bench and continued getting worked on now he did play 30 6 minutes for the New York Knicks so that was an encouraging sign he went back into the game even after it looked like he reag grav the injury so that was a good sign
But we’re never going to know unless he speaks about it and that’s exactly what happened after the game when asked about that injury scare and if he reag grav the injury if he was going to be available for the next game OG an anobi said the following to the media
According to the athletic OG and anobi brushed off the anxious moment in the second quarter of their 100 593 victory over the Portland Trailblazers on Thursday an anobi said the following regarding the elbow injury scare that he had in that second quarter against Portland it’s just sore nothing really
Happened just went for the ball and it randomly hurt but it’s fine he continued by saying it was rapid movement that trickered the soreness I haven’t done it in a while just getting used to it you can’t recreate that in return to play and practice this again is regarding OG an
Anobi and when it looked like he appeared to reag gravate his surgically reped right elbow when he swiped the ball off of Portland’s big man DeAndre aon’s hands he immediately clutched his right elbow and winced in pain and he screamed loud enough for it to be
Captured on TV if you actually go back to the game to that moment and you pause it or you slow it down you can really hear it even though OG an anobi said the elbow was fine will he play the next game well according to to an anobi he
Absolutely will according to an anobi he plans to play on Saturday March 17th when the Nicks continue their four game Road Trip at Sacramento according to anobi that’s the plan I wasn’t thinking about not playing according to the athletic anobi is fine for now but the question about his long-term Health
Heading into the playoffs will linger for a while especially after injury scares like this according to anobi it’s not even pain tolerance regarding what happened against the Trailblazers this is just a random thing I don’t know about you guys but this is a sigh of
Relief for me OG anobi is one of the most key players for this Knicks team he’s special for a wing for this team he is exactly what we needed defensively he gives this Knicks a new identity he takes him to another level and offensively if he continues to hit those
Threes hit those mid-ranges and goes into the paint for layups without having any type of issues we are going to be even more dangerous that’s what OG an anobi gives this team so when he went out of the game with that injury scare for the elbow I was concerned like
Everybody else and he screamed when you hear a player scream and it has to do something with the elbow that he just had repaired it’s going to have anybody concerned but thankfully even though he had all of those issues was getting worked on on the bench he still went
Back into the game still had an impact he still played 36 minutes he still was impactful and effective not only on offense but also on defense both sides of the ball this guy is one of the best two-way players in the game and he shows you why each and every night he’s on
That floor for the New York Knicks you want him to be 100% you want him to be healthy but as he said this is a random thing it’s just sore he wasn’t anticipating that type of pain when he felt it he did scream he went back to
The medical staff did exactly what he needed to do but he’s fine he even said it himself I’m fine he also said he plans to play the next game the Nicks play against a Sacramento Kings on Sunday so with all of these things in mind nobody should be concerned or
Worried it looks like the process of recovering from this elbow injury is going to require OG an anobi dealing with this soreness dealing with random pain at times dealing with all of these issues but I think OG an anobi not only can deal with it he’s going to deal with
It he’s going to handle it and he’s going to push through it and play each and every game that he can when OG an anobi is on the floor for the New York Knicks they just look like a different team they go to a different level especially defensively maybe without OG
An anobi they can get by defensively but with them in the lineup they are nearly Unstoppable they hold teams to record low numbers numbers we don’t see in the modern NBA numbers the New York Nicks don’t hold teams to unless you go back to maybe 2002 2003 maybe it’s safe to
Say Anan noi’s impact when he’s on that floor for the New York Knicks is second to none his plus minus is legendary at this point let me just say this OG an anobi for this Knicks team always equals impact in any way you can think of offensively with the three-point shot
Impactful defensively impactful steals impactful shutting down the opposing team’s best player yes an anobi can do that you can count on him for that he’s not going to complain he’s just going to lock in focus and do exactly what you need him to do and often times not only
Does he do that but he does it at an extraordinary level OG and anobi and his return for the Knicks means this Knicks team is likely going to be a solidified playoff team they might capture that third spot but they’re definitely going to be either the fourth seed or the
Fifth seed an anobi changes this team he makes them better in every single C ategory the Knicks are better with OG an anobi on the floor that’s why having a healthy and fully available OG an anobi is crucial for this Knicks team moving forward for this season and of course
The postseason and Tom tho actually spoke about OG an an obi’s elbow scare and he said the following to Fred Katz of the athletic according to head coach Tom tiido he stated the Nick expected OG anobi who was holding his surgically repaired elbow and grimacing throughout
The game to have moments like he did tonight according to thibs stuff like that is gonna happen we were expecting there to be bumps and bruises like that we needed this information and now we have it we needed to know if OG an anobi was going to be available for the next
Game we now know that he is we needed to know if he was fine or if OG an anobi re-aggravated that elbow injury and now we know he’s fine he’s just dealing with some soreness obviously as we just heard the Knicks expected ogan and Obi to have
Some s Ness but it seems like after a few games OG anobi is not going to have any more soreness he’s going to be fine the elbow’s going to be good and Tom Theo doesn’t seem to be worried about it if he was worried about it he wouldn’t
Have said what he said at the post game so everything that we’re seeing OG an an obi’s comments and his statements Tom Fido’s comments and his statements what we saw last night in the game the fact that OG an anobi returned to the game even after it looked like he reated the
Injury everything is telling us that OG an anobi he’s going to play the next game he’s not going to miss any time and this is just part of the course he’s going to have to go through these pains until he gets to a point where he’s not feeling
Any more soreness not feeling any more discomfort and he’s playing his normal game without any hesitation and I think he’s only a few games away from getting there because as of right now he looks good he looks extremely good very impactful and helping this Knicks team win games can you imagine what happens
After a few games where OG and anobi is not hesitating anymore and he’s not feeling any type of pain or discomfort in that elbow he’s going to look even better he’s going to be even better he might be even more impactful for this next team and for me that’s exactly what
I’m waiting to see only time is going to tell but I can’t wait to see what ogan anobi continues to do for this Knicks team because each and every game I see him play he does something a little bit different a little bit more phenomenal
That just makes my jaw drop and say you know what he’s back and he’s ready to make an impact but I hope this information helped ease your concerns because it definitely helped ease my concerns about OG an anobi and his elbow injury but what about you guys what do
You think about OG and an obi’s comments here about that elbow injury scare that he suffered during that Portland game let me know in the comments Below guys because honestly I would love to hear from you but that’s going to do it for this episode I hope you enjoyed it and

OG Anunobyi recently returned to the New York Knicks regular rotation and has looked phenomenal in the last few games. Defensively and offensively, he makes the Knicks look like a different team. However, as with all injuries, when somebody returns from one, you always wonder: When they’re going to reinjure themselves, and/or How will their impact look… Thankfully, for OG, his impact looks better than it ever has before. But as we all saw, the injury concerns are still extremely real regarding his elbow. After the game against the Portland Trail Blazers, he spoke to the media about the injury scare and also his availability for the next game. Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

Kings game is Saturday though, not Sunday 👌🏽
Bro
They should rest him for two of the games in the West Coast. I said they should have waited to this coming Monday to take him off the injured list.
STOP just stop man he's fine…… Stay focused and lets talk on our seeding for the playoffs and how we can make it to ECF
You could tell though in last night’s game he was favoring it
I know he said he can play but If I was the NY Knicks boss I’m sitting OG down against the Kings and allow the coach to play him against the Warriors. Also rest him the next game after the Warriors game. Also I would wait to the return to home to play him against the Trailblazers. I would treat him as a mlb relief pitcher every other day in this West coast games period.
OG is fine it just soreness
Rest him every other game till the playoffs
He has put ice on it every time he's out the game probably just precautionary
just keep him out of practice
You could tell it's not serious. Yeah he yelled on that play. But then he went on and reversed slammed the ball on the play afterwards. It's just soreness. Thank god!
OG is a strong man when he is surgery free
Hopefully the bad soreness in his elbow goes away eventually. And he’ll play through the rest of this season without injuring it. Praying for the elbow to stay strong and not get injured again for OG.
I think he's just a little sore. The issue with the Knicks right now is that although we want to rest players before the playoffs, we're also competing to stay in a good position in the standings, so we cannot afford to lose game.
It's crunch time and you don't want to risk players getting injured but at the same time you don't want to risk going on a losing streak and other teams get hot. Now you'll find yourself at a much lower seed or worse, all of a sudden in the 7 – 10 seed.
Orlando, Indiana, Philly and Miami are close behind.
Too much more time to waste.
Put on a sleeve Sr. A padded one.
He's fine needs to deal with the pain
Protect that ELBOW!
I was kinda concerned but when I saw that OG was ok, I felt better about it. He’s definitely a game changer
