OG Anunoby's injury status vs. 76ers
It is not certain that Anunoby will play in Game 4. The Knicks will have to make that decision as they look to close out Philadelphia. Knicks head coach Mike Brown may not want to rush his star forward back to the floor, if rest will help him continue to get better.
During the regular season, Anunoby averaged 16.7 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. He scored 24 points in Game 2 of the series against Philadelphia. Anunoby also has the reputation of being a lockdown defender.
