Knicks' OG Anunoby Diagnosed with Mild Foot Sprain After Non-Contact Injury

The Knicks forward is ruled out for Monday's game against the Rockets but remains day-to-day after initial X-rays came back negative.

OG Anunoby suffered a non-contact right foot sprain during Saturday's loss to the Lakers, exiting early in the third quarter after planting awkwardly while attempting a shot.
Initial X-rays on Anunoby's foot were negative, and the team has described the injury as a mild sprain, with his status being evaluated day-to-day.
Anunoby, who had started all 49 games this season, is averaging 16.4 points and is regarded as the Knicks' best perimeter defender.
The Knicks have struggled historically without Anunoby, with a significantly lower winning percentage in games he has missed since joining the team in late 2023.
Precious Achiuwa is expected to step into Anunoby's role temporarily, while the Knicks await further updates on his recovery.
