OG Anunoby to miss at least two weeks with hamstring strain

Knicks forward to miss at least 2 weeks after suffering hamstring injury during Friday's game.

OG Anunoby left the Knicks’ Emirates NBA Cup game on Friday after playing five minutes.

OG Anunoby will reportedly miss at least two weeks with a strained left hamstring in another injury blow for the New York Knicks, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Anunoby won’t travel on the Knicks’ five-game road trip that begins Monday in Miami, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because there was no announcement of Anunoby’s status. The forward will be evaluated again in two weeks.

Anunoby was hurt early in the Knicks’ 140-132 victory over the Heat on Friday. He scored 2 points in just over five minutes of action before exiting the game. The Knicks were already without All-Star guard Jalen Brunson in that game because of a sprained right ankle.

Anunoby is third on the Knicks with 15.8 points per game and is regarded as one of their top defensive players.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
