Knicks Weapon Gets Critical Injury Update Amid Struggles Vs. Pacers

The New York Knicks lost their second straight game against the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Playoffs second round, suffering a 32-point blowout loss in Game 4.

The absence of OG Anunoby has been felt for this Knicks squad. He suffered a hamstring injury in Game 2 and has been held out since. New York has struggled to contain a fast-paced Pacers' offense without their top defensive player.

Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau gave an update on his star forward prior to Game 4, saying he hasn't even started running yet.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Anunoby is very unlikely to return for Game 5 and might even be out the remainder of the series.

"Woj: 'OG Anunoby…I'm told there's not been enough progress yet to think his return's likely in Game 5 Tuesday. Now, after Game 5 on Tuesday there's 2 days off before Game 6 Friday, so maybe there's some hope there…'"

The Knicks will head back to New York to host the Pacers in Game 5 on Tuesday, May 14th, likely without Anunoby again.
