Just hours before the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers take the field for the decisive Game 3 of their playoff series, some new updates have emerged regarding injuries to several key players.

The Sixers are in position to win on Friday night as they look to avoid falling into a 3-0 deficit against the Knicks. If they want to turn things around and try to tie the series this weekend, they’ll need to get seven-time All-Star Joel Embiid back on the court for Game 3.

The one-time NBA MVP missed Game 2 due to hip and ankle problems. According to SNY’s Ian Begley, Embiid is listed as questionable for tonight’s game which tips off at 7:00 pm ET. However, Knicks has been dealing with far more health issues in recent days.

Hart and Robinson probable for Knicks vs. 76ers Game 3

One of the biggest stories in New York is the availability of forward OG Anunoby. He limped off in the final minutes of Wednesday’s game, went to the locker room and never returned. He was diagnosed with a hamstring strain, and reports claimed the Knicks were optimistic about him playing in Games 3 or 4.

Begley reports he is still listed as questionable for tonight. This likely means he will sit out Game 3, which many expected.

Along with Embiid, skilled Knicks center Mitchell Robinson was unavailable Wednesday due to an illness. However, Begley says he is on track to return in Game 3 and is still listed as probable in the latest injury report.

During Wednesday’s game, forward Josh Hart hit his thumb on a Sixers player while going after a rebound and was in severe pain. That’s saying something for a player as tough and durable as Hart. But according to X-Account New York Basketball, a key member of the roster is listed as probable for this evening’s matchup in Philly.

A follow-up report brings even more positive news for New York Knicks fans when it comes to OG Anunoby’s hamstring injury.

On Wednesday night, the Knicks earned a hard-fought win over the Philadelphia 76ers to extend their lead to 2-0 in the semifinal series. In the win, New York got another great game from the guy who has quietly been their MVP these playoffs, OG Anunoby.

The nine-year veteran posted 24 points, five rebounds, four steals and had a +12 when he was on the court. Heading into the 2026 playoffs, Anunoby leads the team in steals (1.5), is second in points (21.4) and blocks (1.1), and is third in rebounds (7.5). However, fans got a big scare in the final minutes of Game 3 when he limped in, went to the locker room and never returned.

It took a long time for Knicks fans to get an update on his condition. However, on Thursday afternoon, ESPN’s Shams Charania revealed that he has a right hamstring strain and is listed as day-to-day. This is a huge relief for New York fans, but hamstring injuries are tricky, and Anunoby has dealt with them in the past. It may still take a week or more for him to return to action.

‘Optimism’ OG Anunoby will play in Game 3 or 4 of Knicks vs. 76ers

However, it looks like the Knicks may have actually gotten pretty lucky with one of their most important players. In a follow-up report from SNY Knicks insider Ian Begley, he claimed there is “optimism” in the locker room that Anunoby will not need a week of recovery and could play in Game 3 on Friday or Game 4 on Sunday.

This is fantastic news for a team coming off one of the most spectacular performances by any Knicks team in the playoffs in decades. Anunoby has played a major role in his dominant play.

With the Knicks holding a 2-0 series lead, they may be wary of the valuable forward and rest him for Game 3. If they somehow manage to win on the road, letting him sit Game 4 again would be a smart move. We’ll see how it all plays out tomorrow night in Philadelphia.

ESPN’s latest NBA mock draft opens the door for the New York Knicks to select a potential OG Anunoby replacement with their top pick at the June event.

Since arriving in a trade ahead of the 2023-24 trade deadline, Anunoby has been a valuable part of the Knicks roster. He’s a reliable three-point threat, an underrated scorer, a talented athlete, but more than anything, he’s a tenacious defender who can guard both forward spots.

However, if the Knicks disappoint in this year’s playoffs and fail to reach the Finals, the 28-year-old could be used in a blockbuster trade. Furthermore, he still has three years and $135 million left on his massive contract. This is a huge number for a player who has never earned All-Star honors in the NBA.

Maybe that’s why Jeremy Wu’s new ESPN NBA mock draft predicts the team will use their first-round pick in June on Arizona big man Koa Peat.

Can Koa Pete replace OG Anunoby?

“Pete chose to declare for the draft and has the opportunity to solidify his role on the board with a strong predraft process,” Wu wrote. “Some teams see him as an excellent candidate to return to school and improve his stock, an option that is available to him.

“Scouts view his perimeter shooting as a key swing skill that will impact his career path, as he is not particularly effective at scoring outside 15 feet at this stage of his career. But his strength and quickness relative to his size, coupled with a solid offensive feel and ability to defend the perimeter, give him a chance to find a spot at the right position.”

The 6-foot-8 prospect isn’t quite the same three-point shooter as Anunoby, but he has similar athletic talent and the ability to be a problem for opposing forwards. One area where he is better than the nine-year vet is that he is a better ball handler and passer. The 19-year-old is a project, but he would come at a fairly cheap rate and wouldn’t need to be a top scorer or distributor, just a strong defender.

The New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets NBA rivalry doesn’t need much help to feel intense, but things got especially spicy during their latest clash on Friday night. In a game defined by high stakes and physical play, New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby and Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton found themselves at the center of the drama after a heated third-quarter exchange resulted in double technical fouls.

The sequence began when Anunoby was handling the rock at the top of the key. Claxton, known for his defensive versatility, locked in and managed to get his hands on the ball, knocking it out of bounds. Anunoby immediately appealed to the officials and insisted that the ball had touched Claxton for the last time.

Anunoby’s frustration boiled over when NBA referees ignored his calls and awarded possession to Brooklyn. He confronted Claxton and gave an apparent shove, prompting officers to immediately intervene. Both players received technical fouls, which served as a reminder that the Battle of the Borough still holds great significance.

Despite momentarily losing cool, the Knicks turned that energy into a narrow 93-92 victory at Barclays Center. Karl-Anthony Towns once again proved why he was missing for this roster, finishing the night with a dominant double-double of 26 points and 15 rebounds. Towns took control of the glass and scored timely buckets whenever Brooklyn threatened to pull away. Jalen Brunson added 17 points and eight assists, navigating a dangerous Nets defense to keep the game within a single possession until the final minute.

For the Nets, Josh Minot led the team with 22 points, showing his elite shot-making ability, while Claxton finished with eight points and seven rebounds before late-game drama. Ultimately, New York’s veteran patience allowed them to escape with the victory. The win moves the Knicks ahead in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Nets continue to show they can hang with the heavyweights even in a losing effort.

纽约尼克斯队从全明星周末回来，他们的第一个挑战将是对阵头号种子底特律活塞队。两人上次交锋时，尼克斯队并没有打出最好的表现，最终以118-80落败。这次可能会有所不同，因为他们将在主场，并且他们将有更多球员参加这场比赛，其中包括卡尔-安东尼·唐斯。

伤病报告中有一位球员是本赛季尼克斯队的关键球员，他就是 OG 阿努诺比。他在伤病报告中被列为右脚趾/脚趾撕脱伤，目前还不确定他是否能参加对阵活塞队的比赛。

这是他进入比赛时的状态。

OG 阿奴诺比对阵活塞队的伤病状况

阿努诺比在对阵活塞队的比赛中被列为可疑球员，这意味着他有机会参加比赛。他在比赛前一天确实进行了训练，他透露当他的脚趾甲被完全去除时会感到疼痛。

“非常痛苦。这是一个开放性伤口，”X（前身为 Twitter）上 The Athletic 的詹姆斯·L·爱德华兹三世 (James L. Edwards III) 表示，阿奴诺比说道。

希望伤病不会限制阿努诺比在场上的表现，如果他决定上场，尼克斯队可能会控制他的上场时间。阿努诺比最大的优势是他的防守，他通常防守对方球队中最好的外线球员之一。如果他不能尽自己最大的能力做到这一点，尼克斯可能会慢慢把他带回来。

幸运的是，尼克斯队拥有米卡尔·布里奇斯，他也是一名出色的外线防守者，可以填补阿努诺比的这一角色。

听起来伤病并不会让阿奴诺比长时间缺阵，如果他能上场，他可能会全力以赴。

The New York Knicks are back from the All-Star break, and their first challenge will be against the top-seeded Detroit Pistons. The last time these two saw each other, the Knicks were not at their best and lost 118-80. This time may be a little different as they will be at home, and they will have more players available in this matchup, including Karl-Anthony Towns.

There is one player on the injury report who has been important for the Knicks this season, and that is OG Anunoby. He is listed on the injury report with a sprained right toe, and it is uncertain whether he will be able to play against the Pistons.

His position in the game is as follows.

OG Anunoby’s injury status vs. Pistons

Anunoby is listed as questionable against the Pistons, meaning he is likely to play. He practiced the day before the game and reported that his toenail was in pain due to it being completely removed.

“There’s a lot of pain. It’s an open wound,” The Athletic on X, formerly of Twitter’s James L. Anunoby said, according to Edwards III.

Hopefully the injury won’t hinder Anunoby too much from what he wants to do on the floor and he can manage his minutes if the Knicks decide to play. Anunoby’s biggest strength is his defense, and he usually guards one of the opposing team’s better perimeter players. If he can’t perform to the best of his ability, the Knicks can bring him back slowly.

Luckily for the Knicks, they have Mikal Bridges, who is also a good perimeter defender and can fill that role for Anunoby.

It doesn’t seem like this is an injury that will keep Anunoby out for long, and if he can play, he may get a full chance.

纽约尼克斯队最近的表现有了很大的进步，在 NBA 交易截止日期前，他们以近 50 分的优势战胜了费城 76 人队。 OG阿努诺比最近几周因伤缺席了阵容，但新交易的何塞阿尔瓦拉多在他缺席的情况下帮助坚守了阵地。

最近，阿努诺比极其诚实地承认了自己被拔掉了脚趾甲。

“非常痛苦。这是一个开放性伤口，”X（前身为 Twitter）上 The Athletic 的詹姆斯·L·爱德华兹三世 (James L. Edwards III) 表示，阿奴诺比说道。

不过，他确实补充说伤势正在好转，爱德华兹三世报道说这位前锋周三进行了训练。

尼克斯队在阿努诺比的阵容中无疑是一支更好的球队，他的防守和外线投篮使他成为当今联盟中最出色的 3D 球员之一。

目前，尼克斯队正在与波士顿凯尔特人队争夺东部第二的位置，尽管克利夫兰骑士队在赛季末可能对此有话要说，因为他们在交易了詹姆斯·哈登后已经开始有所起色。底特律活塞队目前以大幅优势占据东部第一。

当尼克斯队完全健康时，他们可以说是东部最有才华的球队，阿努诺比和米卡尔·布里奇斯都有能力打出精彩得分之夜，而贾伦·布伦森和卡尔·安东尼·唐斯则领跑。

尼克斯队是否能够克服去年东部决赛输给印第安纳步行者队时困扰他们的一些防守困境还有待观察，当时唐斯和布伦森的组合经常在场外比赛。让阿努诺比保持健康肯定会在这方面有所帮助。

尼克斯队接下来将于周四晚上主场迎战活塞队。

The New York Knicks have been playing much better basketball of late and are heading into the NBA trade deadline coming off a nearly 50-point win over the Philadelphia 76ers. OG Anunoby has been out of the lineup in recent weeks due to injury, but new trade acquisition Jose Alvarado has helped hold down the fort in his absence.

Recently, Anunoby got candid about getting his toenail removed.

“There’s a lot of pain. It’s an open wound,” The Athletic on X, formerly of Twitter’s James L. Anunoby said, according to Edwards III.

However, he also said the injury is getting better, with Edwards III reporting that the forward practiced on Wednesday.

The Knicks are definitely a better team with Anunoby in the lineup, his defensive and perimeter shot have made him one of the premier 3-and-D players in the league today.

Currently, the Knicks are in a battle with the Boston Celtics for the number two spot in the Eastern Conference, although the Cleveland Cavaliers may have something to say about that during the season, as they have started to pick things up after trading for James Harden. The Detroit Pistons currently hold the number one spot in the Eastern Conference by a wide margin.

When the Knicks are fully healthy, they have arguably the most talented team in the East, with Anunoby and Mikal Bridges both capable of having big scoring nights, and Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns leading the show.

It remains to be seen whether the Knicks will be able to overcome some of the defensive problems that plagued them during last year’s Eastern Conference Finals loss to the Indiana Pacers, when the combination of Towns and Brunson was often played off the field. Anunoby being healthy will certainly help in that regard.

The Knicks next face off at home against the Pistons on Thursday evening.
