OG Anunoby, after undergoing elbow surgery, has been experiencing expected soreness in his right elbow but has managed to play through the pain, downplaying the issue as just soreness. Despite the discomfort, Anunoby was listed as questionable for the Knicks' recent games during their critical three-game West Coast swing but ultimately participated, showing no signs of discomfort during play. His situation was closely monitored, with decisions on his participation made after pre-game warm-ups. Anunoby's resilience comes amid a series of injury reports across the NBA, with several players from different teams sidelined due to various ailments. James Harden, for instance, was listed as questionable with a left shoulder strain but is showing signs of improvement, marking his second straight absence. The Knicks, facing a critical stretch in their season, have been particularly attentive to Anunoby's condition, understanding his importance to the team's success.
