OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson Showing Progress in Injury Recoveries
New York Knicks players OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson have been making notable progress in their recoveries from injuries, as reported by Coach Tom Thibodeau. Anunoby has been sidelined for the past three games due to a sprained foot, while Robinson has yet to participate in any game action this season following offseason ankle surgery. Both players have returned to practice in limited capacities and are expected to gradually increase their activities.
During recent practices, Coach Thibodeau indicated that:
- OG Anunoby participated in parts of practice and was upgraded to questionable for an upcoming game against the Indiana Pacers.
- Anunoby’s initial non-contact injury was diagnosed as a mild foot sprain, which he sustained in a game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
- Mitchell Robinson, who has not played this season since his surgery, is reportedly doing more each day but still requires additional time before returning to full practice.
The Knicks are currently assessing both players' availability as they prepare to face the Pacers, with the team focusing on regaining their competitive edge following a significant loss to the Boston Celtics. The presence of Anunoby and Robinson would greatly enhance New York's defensive capabilities as the season progresses.
