OG Anunoby participates in ‘some parts’ of practice as Knicks await Eastern Conference Finals

OG Anunoby is on the mend.

The Knicks forward participated in “some parts” of practice Wednesday, but not in the team scrimmage, as he works his way back from a right hamstring strain, head coach Mike Brown said.

“The stuff that he went through, he looked fine,” Brown said.

Anunoby got some shots up and did what the Knicks described as “individual work,” but it’s unclear if the 6-7 forward has resumed sprinting.

His status for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals remains undetermined, though ESPN reported Wednesday that there’s an expectation Anunoby will be available.

“[The medical staff] told me what he could do today,” said Brown, who noted the Knicks would not practice Thursday. “They have not told me what he can do [on Friday], so I don’t know what he’ll be able to do for Game 1.”

Wednesday marked exactly one week since Anunoby tweaked his hamstring during the fourth quarter of the Knicks’ Game 2 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Anunoby was listed as questionable going into Games 3 and 4, but he ultimately sat out of both as the Knicks completed a second-round sweep.

The Eastern Conference Finals will begin either on Sunday or Tuesday, depending on how long the second-round series between the Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers goes.

That means Anunoby could end up getting nearly two weeks of rest before the next round starts.

“Any time anybody’s able to do stuff [in practice], you get encouraged,” Brown said.

In these playoffs, Anunoby is averaging 21.4 points per game, ranking second on the Knicks. His 7.5 rebounds per game rank third.

He is shooting 61.9% from the field, including 53.8% on 3-pointers, and has taken on tough defensive assignments as well.

Anunoby, 28, has a history of leg issues, including a left hamstring injury that cost him nine games early in the regular season.

Without Anunoby, the Knicks got big performances from Miles “Deuce” McBride, who scored 25 points and shot 7-of-9 on 3-pointers in Game 4, and , who averaged 13.5 points and went 6-of-9 on 3-pointers over Games 3 and 4.
