Mike Breen on OG Anunoby: “…I don’t think he’s gonna play tomorrow, I’d be surprised even if he played Friday, maybe towards the weekend there’s a chance. But right now from what I’ve heard in the last previous couple days, he’s not close”

It’s over
Not looking great for him returning at all this series.
We are clinging on to anything lol but we all know this series was not happening. ECF another story but let’s cross that bridge once we get there
There is no shame in getting the 2nd seed and losing in the 2nd round when your All NBA All Star forward, your DPOY candidate wing, the best offensive rebounder in the NBA center, and your leading bench scorer are all injured.
Watch every game, support the team, and if we have to go down, we go down with the ship.
Bad news for the Knicks?! Omg I’m shocked
Hamstrings take weeks and months to heal not days
Let’s be honest here: best season this century! Most likeable team since the 90’s! If fully healthy we had a real chance at the chip. Can’t ask for anything more, that being said: KNICKS IN 6
media fans about to eat cause you know every mouthbreather with a mic and a camera can’t wait to do the ”every team is playing hurt, the knicks still suck” dunk if we don’t make it further.
sucks if we go down like this but what are you gonna do. it’s been a great run, just get everyone healthy.
We will have him back vs Boston.
There have been countless games this season where, in other years, I would have just turned off the game because they were down so big. It was one comeback. And then another. And then another. I don’t think I am being unrealistic to say to give these guys a chance to play out the next 2 or 3 games before closing the book on them. They’ve earned it the way they played this whole season.

“For more insight into Anunoby’s hamstring strain, we reached out to Dr. Guillem Gonzalez-Lomas, an Associate Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at the Sports Medicine Center at NYU Langone Health:
SNY: Based on the timeline of Anunoby’s recovery so far, could he be cleared to play by Tuesday?
GONZALEZ-LOMAS: Based on reports that he has not been running and only doing pool work, it is unlikely that he would be cleared to play on Tuesday.
SNY: Could he be fully cleared of the hamstring strain by Friday (Game 6)?
GONZALEZ-LOMAS: Recovery from a hamstring strain is contingent on training room rehab but probably, more importantly, on time. It is impossible to predict return to play without having all of the information, including exam and imaging, but recovery from these injuries usually lies in the weeks, not days, timeframe.
SNY: Is there a minimum amount of time he should be sidelined for based on the known timeline of events/rehab?
GONZALEZ-LOMAS: Most importantly, he should not be rushed back before the muscle is ready. The zeal to return as soon as possible can create a risk for recurrence and potentially a more severe, debilitating injury. The mildest cases will sideline players for at least 1-2 weeks, if not longer.
SNY? Can you share any insight on the degree of the strain based on the known timeline of events/rehab?
GONZALEZ-LOMAS: Muscle injury severity is determined by MRI and/or ultrasound and the player’s symptoms and strength. Within those parameters, the medical staff will be working to minimize the recovery time. Unfortunately, there are no shortcuts and the body needs to do the lion’s share of healing itself.”
Brunson, Hart, DiVo, iHart, Precious, Deuce and yes… the biggest comeback kid this postseason: Alec Burks. Game 5. Reports of their demise have been premature.
It is what it is. This is the team we got.
I hope we resign him but he takes a pay cut. Can’t pay a guy $35-40m/yr if he can’t play in important games for us.
Think that wraps it up , good year till injuries
He ain’t coming back y’all, don’t even give yourself that hope. Hammy injuries are known for taking way longer and rushing back would be a mistake.
Silver lining though is this may help us with signing him to a new friendlier deal, which could possibly help us get iHart back. Here’s to hoping though.
Just want to run this shit back with this squad. Haven’t loved a Knick team this much in a while. We are legit contenders if we run this back.
I think he’s out for the rest of this series. If we win this series somehow, then I think the knicks would reevaluate him after Game 1 and if he’s not ready they’ll internally declare him out for the playoffs

All the best OG, 🫡. You gave enough to get em over game 2.
It don’t matter. New York Knicks Number One Baby. We will find a way to
OG comes back for game 7 and wins it for us at the buzzer. Calling it now.
Would love a home win without og and then close out in IN with him back.
Would be great to have OG but honestly, win at home and we’re in the next round. Maybe we get him back for games 3 and 4 in the next series.
