Knicks' OG Anunoby out for Game 3 against the Sixers with injury

New York Knicks' OG Anunoby is out for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday May 8, coach Mike Brown said just hours before the tip.

New York has a 2-0 lead over the Sixers, but the Knicks will be without Anunoby, diagnosed with a right hamstring strain he suffered late Game 2 on May 6. New York won that game, 108-102.

Late in the fourth quarter, Anunoby attempted to cut to the basket when he pulled up and grabbed his right leg, near his hamstring. In the moments that followed, Anunoby remained on the floor and even attempted a dunk when the ball found him down low.
