OG Anunoby will be available for the New York Knicks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Anunoby recovered from a mild hamstring injury suffered during the second round of the playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Knicks forward missed the closing games of that series, but is now expected to return to the floor at a crucial moment.
According to NBA insider Shams Charania, Anunoby is ready for Game 1, providing a major boost for the Knicks ahead of their matchup with the Cavaliers.
Anunoby suffered the injury in Game 2 of the series against Philadelphia and did not play in the final two games, although the Knicks still completed a sweep and earned extra rest before the conference finals.
There was some concern due to his previous hamstring issues — in the 2024 playoffs, he also dealt with a similar injury that sidelined him for an extended period during the series against the Indiana Pacers.
