Overview
- OG Anunoby missed a fourth consecutive game with a right toenail avulsion against the 76ers, and the team now lists him as day-to-day as the All-Star break begins.
- Head coach Mike Brown said there is no timeline for Anunoby’s return, even as the injury report shifted to day-to-day status.
- New York routed Philadelphia 138-89 on Wednesday and went 2-2 across the four games Anunoby missed.
- The wing’s absence was felt in a 137-134 overtime loss to Indiana, where the Pacers hit 18 threes, had eight players score in double figures, and their bench outscored the Knicks 43-18, ending a 10-game defensive surge.
- Center Mitchell Robinson returned Wednesday after left ankle management to bolster the interior, while rookie Mohamed Diawara has filled wing minutes, averaging 7.8 points over the four-game stretch and scoring 14 against Philadelphia.
