New York Knicks Fans Are in Agreement About OG Anunoby's Game 7 NBA Playoff Performance
Prior to Game 7 of the NBA Playoffs series between the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks, it was unknown whether Knicks forward OG Anunoby would be playing in the game.
Anunoby has been out since Game 2 of the series, after suffering a hamstring strain.
Yet, there was optimism among fans that Anunoby would make his return for the Knicks' pivotal Game 7.
And he did.
Although he looked like a shell of himself on the court.
While Anunoby playing through a clear injury has to be admired, fans are noting that he is clearly still suffering from the hamstring injury.

"OG Anunoby out there right now" wrote one fan on X, with the legendary viral video of a Madden version of Greg Jennings scoring a long touchdown with a broken leg.
"OG Anunoby out there running like he gotta take a shit" wrote another fan, with a video of Anunoby hobbling down the court during Game 7.
If Anunoby (and the other injured Knicks players) had managed to remain healthy, perhaps this series against the Pacers would have gone differently.
