The New York Knicks have announced that forward OG Anunoby will not be available for Sunday's Game 4 against the Indiana Pacers due to a left hamstring strain. This injury also sidelined him for Game 3 of the series.
Anunoby sustained the hamstring strain during the third quarter of Game 2, as he was attempting a layup. His absence will be a significant loss for the Knicks, as he has been a key contributor since joining the team from the Toronto Raptors in December.
On the Pacers' side, guard Tyrese Haliburton continues to be listed as questionable for Game 4. Haliburton has been dealing with ankle and back injuries, which have impacted his availability throughout the series.
However, there is positive news for the Knicks as star player Jalen Brunson, who was previously nursing a foot injury, is not included on the latest injury report. Brunson's presence will be crucial for the team as they look to maintain their lead in the first-round series against the Pacers.
Despite the absence of Anunoby, the Knicks currently hold a 2-1 lead in the series against the Pacers. Anunoby had a standout performance in the playoffs before his injury, scoring a career-high 28 points in the games leading up to Game 4.
As both teams prepare for the crucial Game 4 matchup, the Knicks will need to adjust their game plan in the absence of Anunoby, while the Pacers hope for a potential return from Haliburton to bolster their lineup.
