Knicks’ OG Anunoby Probable For Tuesday’s Game 1

Knicks forward OG Anunoby (right hamstring strain) is officially considered probable to play in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals on Tuesday, tweets Steve Popper of Newsday.

Stefan Bondy of The New York Post first reported Anunoby’s injury designation for the series opener vs. the Cavaliers (via Twitter).

The news doesn’t come as a surprise. The 28-year-old was a full practice participant on Friday and Saturday after suffering the right hamstring injury in the final minutes of New York’s Game 2 victory over Philadelphia on May 6. Anunoby was listed as questionable for Games 3 and 4 of that second-round series being eventually being downgraded to out.

Reporting at the time of Anunoby’s injury indicated that he had suffered a mild strain. He confirmed that a couple days ago, saying that his injury was less severe than prior hamstring issues he’s had with his left leg.

Anunoby has been outstanding in his eight playoff appearances in 2026, averaging 21.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.1 blocks in 35.3 minutes per game, with a shooting line of .619/.538/.811. It will be interesting to see which member of the Cavs he’s tasked with guarding with the series set to get underway tomorrow.
