Brunson said Sunday that he feels better and hopes to return before the regular season ends. Over his last four games, Anunoby has averaged 30.5 points.</p><p>Hart nearly recorded a triple-double again, finishing with 14 points, nine assists, and eight rebounds.</p><p>Mikal Bridges has also elevated his production since Brunson’s injury, scoring 21 of his 28 points in the second half while shooting 12-for-22 from the field.</p><h2><b>The New York Knicks faring well without Jalen Brunson</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Knicks-stars-OG-Anunoby-and-Josh-Hart.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Knicks’ offense picked up the slack for Karl-Anthony Towns, who struggled with his shot, going 4-for-13 and finishing with 10 points. Anunoby and Bridges have carried the load in Brunson’s absence, as he missed his 12th straight game with a sprained ankle but said Sunday that he has resumed “basketball activities” and is nearing a return. The Knicks (47-27) locked in a playoff spot and are on track to claim the third seed, posting a 7-5 record without Brunson.</p><p>New York has made significant defensive strides, holding seven of its last 12 opponents to 107 points or fewer. They have forced turnovers more frequently, a shift that coincided with Mitchell Robinson’s return from ankle surgery. On Sunday, they racked up 10 steals—three each from Hart and Anunoby—and converted those takeaways into 15 points.</p><p>“OG and Mikal are playing at a very, very high level. And Josh did all the things he normally does,” <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/why-knicks-tom-thibodeau-must-consider-expanding-lineup-before-playoffs">New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau</a> commented.</p><p>Sunday’s game had its rough stretches. The Knicks struggled late in the first half against the young Blazers (32-43), who are likely headed back to the draft lottery. After building a 10-point lead with about five minutes left in the second quarter, they gave up a 20-3 run and went into halftime down by eight.</p><p>The Knicks fell behind by 14 with nine minutes left in the third quarter but responded with a 22-7 run that shifted momentum in their favor. With Brunson, Miles McBride, and Cam Payne still out due to injuries, they once again pieced together a makeshift backcourt.</p><p>New York held Portland to just 35 second-half points and matched its season-best mark of 20 games over .500.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Josh Hart and OG Anunoby were <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2025-02-23_10AM.pdf" rel="noopener">on the injury report</a>, but they’re <a href="https://x.com/nyknicks/status/1893718469419417678" rel="noopener">good to go for Sunday’s game</a>.</p><p>Hart was initially listed on the injury report with right knee patellofemoral syndrome, and Anunoby was on the injury report with a right foot sprain. Both were listed as questionable coming into the game but were in the starting lineup.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-news-og-anunoby-injury-status-update-cavaliers-game">Anunoby just recently returned</a> after an almost month-long absence when he suffered a non-contact injury against the Los Angeles Lakers. Hart has missed the last two games with patellofemoral syndrome, which is also known as runner’s knee. Hart last played before the All-Star break on Feb. 12.</p><p>Both players are important to what the Knicks are trying to accomplish this season, and they’re two of the players who are usually relied on when trying to guard the opposing team’s best players. The Knicks had played well in Anunoby’s absence, going 5-1 in that span, but having both him and Hart out posed some problems at times.</p><p>Having them back will boost the Knicks’ offense, as well as add some extra help on offense as Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns are shouldering the load.</p><p>The Knicks have played well for the most part this season, but they are struggling against teams who are above them in the standings, most notably the Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers. If they’re going to have any deep playoff success, beating either one of those teams has to be a goal, and right now, they haven’t fared well against either.</p><p>Hopefully, when they get healthy, they can show that they can beat those top teams and compete for a championship.

This marks his sixth consecutive absence due to a right foot sprain. Head coach Tom Thibodeau <a href="https://www.twitter.com/Krisplashed/status/1892776702645870973" rel="noopener">provided an update</a> on Anunoby’s status against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday.</p><p>Thibodeau expects OG Anunoby to travel with the team for Friday’s game in Cleveland. He noted that both the medical staff and Anunoby himself were involved in the decision to sit out Thursday’s game.</p><p>“The player has input, but they’ve got to get cleared by medical,” Thibodeau added after Thursday’s 113-111 overtime victory.</p><p>The 27-year-old took part in a full practice on Wednesday and was originally listed as questionable for Thursday’s game. He had also carried a questionable designation ahead of the Knicks’ matchups on Feb. 11 and Feb. 12 but did not suit up for either.</p><p>Thursday was the Knicks’ first game back from the All-Star break. Anunoby’s non-contact injury occurred nearly three weeks ago on Feb. 1, when he landed awkwardly during a home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers.</p><p>A top-tier defender, Anunoby is putting up 16.4 points per game while shooting 48.2% from the field and 36.5% from beyond the arc. Before Thursday’s game, he had logged 1,777.7 minutes this season, ranking 18th in the NBA, with his 36.3 minutes per game placing him 11th.</p><h2><b>The Knicks faring well without OG Anunoby</b></h2><p>The Knicks have posted a 5-1 record in Anunoby’s absence, but his missing presence was even more noticeable Thursday as guard <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/knicks-news-josh-hart-dealt-disappointing-injury-status-all-star-break">Josh Hart was also ruled out</a> with patellofemoral syndrome, often referred to as “runner’s knee,” in his right leg.</p><p>Precious Achiuwa and Miles “Deuce” McBride filled in for Anunoby and Hart in the starting lineup. Anunoby had started all 49 of the Knicks’ games before his current absence, but injuries have been a recurring obstacle throughout his eight-year NBA career.</p><p>Last season, after being traded from the Toronto Raptors in December 2023, he missed 27 of 50 possible regular-season games with the Knicks due to an elbow injury.</p><p>He also sat out four games in the Knicks’ second-round playoff matchup against the Indiana Pacers due to a hamstring strain, then managed only five minutes on the court when he attempted a return for the decisive Game 7.</p><h2><b>Anunoby’s impact with the Knicks </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Tom-Thibodeau-talking-with-OG-Anunoby.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Anunoby inked a five-year, $212.5 million contract with the Knicks during the offseason. His presence on the court has been a game-changer, as the team held a 58-23 record, including the postseason, with him in the lineup heading into Thursday’s matchup.</p><p>The Knicks are also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/new-york-knicks/how-mitchell-robinsons-return-will-fix-knicks-fatal-flaws">still without shot-blocking center Mitchell Robinson</a>, who is getting closer to making his season debut following left ankle surgery last May.</p><p>Thursday’s matchup against the Bulls, who dropped to 22-34, was the first half of a back-to-back, with the Knicks set to take on the Eastern Conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

A questionable tag for Thursday’s matchup indicates he has a chance to suit up for the first time in nearly three weeks.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-og-anunoby-new-career-high-win-vs-nuggets">Anunoby has been an integral piece for the Knicks</a> after signing a five-year, $212.5 million contract this offseason. He’s averaged 16.4 points on 48/37/79 shooting splits with 4.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks per game over 49 appearances. His size and defensive presence at power forward have been essential after New York replaced Isaiah Hartenstein with Karl-Anthony Towns at center.</p><p>Opponents are scoring 6.0 fewer points per 100 possessions during Anunoby’s minutes, the highest defensive rating swing of any Knick, per CleaningTheGlass. That number places him in the 90th percentile among NBA forwards.</p><p>The Knicks have won nine of their last 11 games entering the Bulls matchup. They sit third in the Eastern Conference standings at 36-18 coming out of the All-Star break. Josh Hart (right knee patellofemoral syndrome) and Mitchell Robinson (left ankle surgery) will be sidelined on Thursday.</p><p>Meanwhile, the Bulls seemingly committed to a tank after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/chicago-bulls/bulls-news-zach-lavine-trade-completed-waiving-2-players">trading Zach LaVine to the Sacramento Kings at the deadline</a>. Chicago has lost four straight games and sits eighth in the draft lottery standings at 22-33.

The forward’s X-rays came back negative, but an MRI revealed a mild sprain.

However, Saturday’s 131-104 loss to the Celtics highlighted their defensive struggles against top competition.

Saying these two players are critical for head coach Tom Thibodeau’s team is an understatement.</p><p>Anunoby is one of the best 3-and-D players and is vital in a matchup against the Celtics’ elite wings, while Hart is the ultimate winning player who is having a career year in his eighth season.</p><p>The Knicks are highly dependent on their starting lineup, with these two ranking near the top of the NBA in minutes per game. In addition, this squad’s bench players are undersized compared to Boston’s starting five.</p><p>So are Hart and Anunoby playing against the Celtics? Here is everything we know about their injury statuses for Saturday’s Celtics-Knicks game.</p><p><b><i>*Watch NBA games LIVE with fuboTV (</i></b><a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408"><b><i>Get Access | Save $30</i></b></a><i>)</i><b><i>*</i></b></p><h2><b>Josh Hart and OG Anunoby’s injury statuses vs. Celtics</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/IMAGN-image-of-Knicks-OG-Anunoby.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Hart <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2025-02-08_10AM.pdf" rel="noopener">is currently listed as probable</a>, while Anunoby is listed as doubtful on the NBA injury report. The Knicks’ shooting guard has been dealing with right knee soreness. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-og-anunoby-exits-lakers-gameapparent-non-contact-injury">Anunoby, on the other hand, exited</a> the Lakers’ game last Saturday with a scary noncontact injury. The official diagnosis turned out to be a right foot sprain, and the elite wing is not expected to miss too much time.</p><p>It would be wise for New York not to rush Anunoby back into action. OG has been injury-prone in the past, which was one of the reasons why the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-most-to-blame-heartbreaking-playoffs-series-loss-pacers">Knicks lost to the Indiana Pacers</a> in the second round of the NBA Playoffs. Tom Thibodeau’s team <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/knicks-record-with-og-anunoby">is 52-20</a> when its starting small forward suits up.</p><p>While Hart has been less injury-prone than Anunoby, New York must monitor his health concerns closely. Getting any type of overuse injury with more than 30 games left in the regular season is not ideal for a team that plans on playing well into May and possibly June.</p><p>The Knicks are currently the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference. They are a game and a half out of the second seed and 4½ games ahead of the No. 4-seeded Indiana Pacers.</p><p>Ultimately, New York is in a good spot right now, but things can get out of hand with the league’s <a href="https://www.tankathon.com/remaining_schedule_strength" rel="noopener">fifth-hardest remaining strength of schedule</a>. But even with Anunoby likely out, Saturday night will be a good litmus test for where the Knicks rank among the true title contenders.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He’s averaging 16.4 points per game over a career-high 36.3 minutes per contest. Though his three-point shooting is down a tad from last season, he’s been in the middle of a hot streak. Including his effort against the Lakers, Anunoby is 14 for his last 23 from long distance, spanning his past four games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rockets-vs-knicks-prediction-odds-pick-spread-2-3-2025">Knicks could be down two men in the matchup</a> with one of the Western Conference’s top teams. Forward OG Anunoby and guard Josh Hart <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2025-02-03_11AM.pdf" rel="noopener">could be absent from the game</a> as both players are on the injury report.</p><p>Anunoby is listed as out with a right foot sprain, Hart is listed as probable despite dealing with soreness in his right knee. Both players were active in the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-lebron-james-achieves-new-scoring-milestone-la-knicks-showdown">Knicks’ 128-112 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers</a> on Saturday night.</p><p>Anunoby played just 17 minutes before exiting the game with the sprain, recording 13 points, one rebound, one assist and two blocks while shooting 5-of-7 from the floor. Hart was on the floor for 38 minutes and finished with 26 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, and two steals while shooting 11-of-16 from the field.</p><p>The Rockets will be without power forward Jabari Smith Jr., out with a left metacarpal fracture, and guard Fred VanVleet, out with a right ankle strain.</p><p>This is an important game for both teams. The Knicks’ 32-17 record places them at No. 3 in the Eastern Conference. The Rockets, 32-16, occupy the No. 3 seed in the West.</p><p>Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET.</p><h2><b>How significant is the loss of OG Anunoby?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/unnamed-2_16fdd6.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The loss of forward OG Anunoby is one that the Knicks hope does not last for an extensive period of time as he is one of the team’s top performers. The 27-year-old guard out of Indiana has not missed a single game this season, starting all 49 of the Knicks’ contests so far.</p><p>Anunoby is averaging 36.3 minutes on the floor in each contest. In that time, he is averaging 16.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, two assists and 1.4 steals per game. He is shooting 48.2% from the field and 36.5% from 3-point range.</p><p>With the Knicks looking to compete with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference when the playoffs begin, they will need to be at full strength. Allowing Anunoby the time he needs to recover now could go a long way.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He now writes about sports instead as a form of therapy.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>On Saturday night, the New York Knicks seemed to not only lose the battle, but also the war. In addition to their 128-112 defeat to the Los Angeles Lakers, they also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-tom-thibodeau-breaks-silence-og-anunoby-injury">lost OG Anunoby to what looked like a serious-looking non-contact injury</a>; while setting his feet in preparation to launch a three-pointer, the Knicks forward crumpled to the ground in pain, with LeBron James and Karl-Anthony Towns immediately coming to his aid.</p><p>Anunoby immediately exited the game afterwards and did not return to action in the Knicks’ loss. Fans were holding their breath, and understandably so, as the Knicks can ill-afford the loss of one of their best players especially considering their lack of depth. But there appears to be an encouraging development in this regard, as Anunoby hasn’t yet been ruled out for their Monday night clash against the Houston Rockets, with him being listed as <a href="https://x.com/ianbegley/status/1886181246583087244?s=46" rel="noopener">questionable with a foot sprain</a>, as per Ian Begley of SNY.</p><p>Now, considering how bad Anunoby’s injury looked, expect the Knicks to still err on the side of caution, even with a tough matchup against the Rockets coming up. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-og-anunoby-out-game-6-vs-pacers">Anunoby also has a long history of lower-body injuries</a>, so this should only push New York further into cautious territory.</p><p>The Knicks may be jockeying for position in the East standings, but at this point, it looks like they’re pretty much locked into the three-seed in the conference barring an unforeseen turn of events. Thus, there is really no reason to risk Anunoby’s health, especially when their sights are set towards playing their best basketball come June.</p><h2><b>How will the Knicks fill OG Anunoby’s potential injury absence?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/OG-Anunoby.jpg"><figcaption>Brad Penner-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Knicks’ main issue this season has been their crippling lack of depth. This is the price they paid when they decided to bring in Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns this past offseason. Their wing depth is nearly non-existent, although it helps that Josh Hart and Bridges are two of the most positionally-versatile players in the association, paving the way for head coach Tom Thibodeau to mix and match freely.</p><p>Thibodeau relies on three main guys off the bench: Miles McBride, Precious Achiuwa, and Cameron Payne. If OG Anunoby were to miss time, the logical thing for the Knicks to do is to start McBride, since he was the one thrust into a starting role amid the team’s injury woes last season. Achiuwa could then get more minutes if they decide that the team needs more size to deal with the Rockets.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Had Anunoby been able to connect on that final 3, who knows how high his scoring total would have gotten against a Lakers team with only so many plus defenders? But alas, it wasn’t meant to be, as he’s since been ruled out for the rest of the game with a right foot sprain.</p><p>Will Anunoby miss serious time with this injury? It’s hard to say. Will the Knicks be able to weather any injuries if he does miss time, as they notoriously run a very small rotation with their starters playing a ton of minutes? That’s even harder to know. But in the end, Anunoby’s diagnosis could have been much worse, as fans initially expected something season-ending by the way he collapsed without being touched by another player.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
