"Anunoby appeared to suffer a right leg injury late in the fourth quarter of New York's 108-102 Game 2 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. The forward reached for the back of his leg after cutting to the basket with just over three minutes to go, then was blocked at the rim on a two-handed dunk attempt by Paul George."
"The 28-year-old has been New York's most efficient scorer throughout the playoffs, averaging 21.4 points per game on 61.9% shooting from the field and 53.8% from three-point range. He shot 9-of-17 with 24 points, five rebounds, four steals, and two assists in 37 minutes in Game 2."
"He is also the Knicks' most important defender, and it's no coincidence that they are outscoring their opponents by 118 points when Anunoby is on the floor this postseason. His versatility remains unmatched."
