OG Anunoby Still Out Thursday
3 months agoNew York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) remains out for Thursday's tilt versus the Dallas Mavericks. The Knicks have updated Anunoby's injury from inflammation to a bone spur irritation in his right elbow, which can't help but sound a bit more complicated than the original listing. With the All-Star break on the horizon, New York could opt to hold Anunoby out until play resumes to get this issue fully resolved, but the forward nonetheless has a chance to end a six-game absence on Saturday against the visiting Indiana Pacers in the final game of a six-game homestand. Head coach Tom Thibodeau has tightened his rotations to eight players with Quentin Grimes (knee) out of the mix, leaving behind ample playing time for Precious Achiuwa. Averaging 13.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.4 blocks in 39.8 minutes across his past five games, Achiuwa remains a strong fantasy streamer on Thursday.
