OG Anunoby, who has turbocharged the New York Knicks' offense, and Quentin Grimes are sidelined for the Knicks' game against the Los Angeles Lakers due to Anunoby's elbow inflammation. This marks the fourth consecutive game Anunoby has missed, with Grimes also being out. Despite their absences, the Knicks have continued their winning ways, securing their last three games without Anunoby and Julius Randle, and notching nine consecutive victories overall. Anunoby's impact has been notable as he ranked second in the NBA with a plus-minus of +252 in January, just behind teammate Jalen Brunson's +256. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau faces the challenge of playing the Lakers without Anunoby, particularly in guarding LeBron James.
With OG (elbow) out yet another game, Tom Thibodeau says guarding LeBron tonight “will be a great challenge for us.” #Knicks
OG Anunoby is out for the Knicks tonight. He’s been a revelation for NYK, ranking second in the NBA with a +252 in January, second only to his teammate Jalen Brunson’s +256. Knicks have won their last 3 games even w/out Anunoby (and Julius Randle) and 9 straight overall.
