The incredibly shorthanded Knicks had to play a basketball game whether they wanted or not on Thursday after trading three players away, thus falling way short of the minimum number of needed/available players to face the Dallas Mavericks at MSG, thus the G League callups.
On OG Anunoby and the Knicks agreeing for the player to undergo surgery... 'We tried to approach it with rest first and then you trust the medical, you trust him and this was the best course of action. And we're optimistic that it rolls into the All-Star break, so it seemed to make the most sense to all of us.'
On Julius Randle and OG Anunoby's outlook and timeline for a return in March... 'Like all players coming back from an injury, there will be a ramp up and then, that's-we're hopeful for [Anunoby's return at 100 percent for the end of the season]. But he's gonna miss some time. But he's in great shape.'
