hamstring injury
GREENBURGH, N.Y. (AP) --- OG Anunoby fully practiced with the New York Knicks
on Friday for the first time since injuring his hamstring, moving them closer
to having their starting lineup intact for the Eastern Conference finals.
The starting forward missed the final two games of the Knicks' second-round
sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers after straining his right hamstring late in
Game 2. He took part in some of practice when the Knicks returned on Wednesday,
but sat out the portions when they went full speed.
But coach Mike Brown said Anunoby did everything with the team on Friday.
The Knicks would host Game 1 of the East finals on Sunday if Cleveland beats
Detroit in Game 6 on Friday night. If that series goes the distance, Anunoby
wouldn't have to be ready until Tuesday.
Anunoby is averaging 21.4 points per game in the postseason while shooting
61.9% from the field and 53.8% from 3-point range.
