MAJOR CONCERN About OG Anunoby’s ELBOW! Wearing Wrap On Surgically Repaired Elbow… | Knicks News
The New York Knicks are finally starting to become that team that everyone hoped that they would be. 18-10 on the season, they have been rolling the past few games with good defense, elite offense, and game changing playmaking. Everyone is getting involved in the action and NY is better because of it. The last thing anyone wants to discuss right now is a potential injury but that is exactly what may be the case. OG Anunoby is wearing a wrap on his surgically repaired elbow. He wasn’t wearing the wrap for a number of games. His offense started to tank recently and now we see the elbow wrap return. Time to be concerned?… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

It’s too cold for the metal in his arm rn to not hurt
I wonder if that’s why his shooting has been off for last couple weeks ?
We need wing depth regardless
I imagine that it's pretty cold out there in Minnesota and after that surgery I'm sure the cold must have some effect on it. I won't worry until God forbid, we get a team announcement that he is injured.
WE ALL KNOW IT WAS COMING SOONER OR LATER
Here we go.
You hope he doesn’t get hurt
But the wrap is a concern.
OG is strong, but at some point, Knicks gotta be concern with him.
Knicks as a team have been pretty lucky this season when it comes to injuries to starting players. For the Knicks five starters: Brunson, Towns, Anunoby, Bridges and Hart – that unit as a group has only lost a total of 3 games to injury (Towns has missed 2 and Hart has missed 1). Looking at the entire Eastern Conference, New York is one of only three teams that hasn't lost a single starter for more than 5 games that the team has played this year. Count your blessings Knicks fans. Here's a running tally of all the Eastern Conference starters who have sat for more than 5 games so far this season.
For Boston Porzingus has missed 19 games. For Cleveland Max Strus has missed 28 games. For Orlando Paolo Banchero has missed 25 games and now Franz Wagner is out indefinitely (he just missed his 5th game last night). For Milwaukee Khris Middleton has missed 21 games. For Miami Jimmy Butler has missed 6 games. For Indiana Andrew Nembhard has missed 14 games. For Chicago Patrick Williams has missed 10 games. For Philadelphia Embiid has missed 19 games, Paul George has missed 10 games, and Maxey has missed 6 games. For Brooklyn Cam Thomas has missed 11 games, Finney-Smith has missed 9 and Claxton has missed 6. For Toronto Scottie Barnes has missed 13 and Quickley has missed 25. For Washington Kuzma has missed 14 and Brogdon has missed 15 and for Charlotte Lamelo Ball has missed 18, Brandon Miller has missed 6, Miles Bridges has missed 14 and Nick Richards has missed 15. Remember the players mentioned above are all starters for their respective teams.
The Knicks join only Atlanta and Detroit who have haven't had any starter miss more than 5 games yet this season. This is with Tommy Thibs playing the Knicks starters heavy minutes just like he has always coached his teams. Remember all the injuries last year? Those are coming again just watch. When you look across the Eastern Conference and you are honest about the situation, you can't deny that the Knicks have been pretty damn lucky so far this season but here's the million-dollar question. How long do you think the good luck is going to last?
Thibs is playing the starters heavy minutes because the bench as a whole is not Championship caliber. Honest assessment. The Knicks bench scored a total of 6 points last night against the Pelicans. How many minutes did the starters play? Bridges played 45 minutes, Hart played 42, Brunson played 40, Anunoby played 37 and Towns played only 27 thanks to foul trouble. If the coach feels that he has to play the starters that many minutes just to secure a win against a team missing Zion and Brandon Ingram, what is going to happen when one or more of the Knicks starters gets injured and ends up missing 10 plus games? You can only burn the candle at both ends for so long. Did you see what happened to Mo Wagner for the Orlando Magic last night? Non-contact injury where he crumbled to the ground, was helped off and didn't return. Sooner or later, it's going to be the Knicks turn to get bad news and then what? When you play a guy 45 out of 48 minutes you are tempting fate. Human beings all have a breaking point.
thibs wants to play him 40 plus minutes a night.
He's fine, nothing to see here.
This one’s on thibs playing him and the other starters so many minutes he’s determined to destroy this team , one by one here we go !
He been playing good don't sweat it
Trooooooyyyy!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up!
Ask Him! Instead Of Assuming! 🤷🏾♂️
Should we really be surprised? It was only a matter of time.
Omg OG elbow again? Ugh
We don’t need him to score so he should take a break from shooting
😢It is not easy to come off of surgery without any holistic intervention.
Acupuncture is needed.
Starters playing too many minutes ‘ the couch has to play the bench little more ‘ too many minutes are putting alot of toll on starters
The "Injury Bug" 🪲🧑⚕️ is hitting on again OG like before. If HC Thibs wants to keep his job, give his injury players some rest like OG early.
Knicks Fans don't want to see another sad ending playoffs lost again.
🤧😢😡
HC Thibs should rely more on his bench players. The Knicks starters can easily be "OVERWORKED" that will lead to " Serious Injury" 🤕.
We don't want to see 👀 that.
I been saying og not max player he finnesed us badly always injured shows up once n blue moon Duce McBride deserves his money he deserves Duce McBride contract
They need to give him a break people are forgetting that we only human beings We are not invincible Their are other players in the roster that can fill in for his place for so he can rest
We have the Most Destructive and Stubborn Coach to this team who tries to protect his Fraudulent reputation of Defensive Guru. He is Clueless and he has a Medical Syndrome. Please Fire this Coach
THIBS is Pathological Liar so he will tell lies about OG Situation
This is why we should not be trading any players bc you never know (JUST LIKE LAST PLAYOFFS) when you’re going to need them. Bring back Donte also.
Thibs is running them into the ground as always. Bound to happen.
Hopefully it's just protection to keep his elbow safe from injury
If he's injured why play him 40 min? Not a smart move
I think is only to protect the elbow from injury again
His offense has gone way down. He’s now shooting 23% from the 3. I’m worried. He’s playing 40+ minutes a night.
If the Knicks were smart they would try to keep both OG and Kat to around 32 minutes a game if they can. No need to over extend these guys in the regular season…
I hope it's not a Concern
