The New York Knicks are grappling with numerous injuries to crucial players during their postseason campaign.
They have included forward OG Anunoby in this list following his left hamstring strain during their Game 2 home victory against the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference semifinal series on Wednesday, May 8.
As a result of the injury, the 26-year-old has been ruled out for Game 3 at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indiana on Friday, May 10, as per league insider Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.
Anunoby was enjoying one of his finest performances wearing a Knicks uniform when he suffered the injury during the third quarter and could not return to the game.
The British player scored 29 points on 10-of-18 shooting, four rebounds, three assists, and one block in 28 minutes of play.

In addition to Anunoby, Knicks star Jalen Brunson suffered a right foot injury during the first quarter of Game 3.
Although he missed the second quarter, Brunson returned to play in the second half and finished the game. However, his status for Game 3 is uncertain, as he is listed as questionable.
The Knicks are further depleted without Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson, and Bojan Bogdanovic for the rest of the postseason.
