There is growing optimism around the New York Knicks that OG Anunoby can return for the start of the Eastern Conference Finals.

According to ESPN, Anunoby remains day-to-day after suffering a right hamstring injury late in Game 2 against the Philadelphia 76ers. He missed the final two games of the series, which the Knicks completed with a sweep.

Anunoby took part in portions of practice, without live work, and also went through an individual workout. In the playoffs, he is averaging 21.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.9 steals while shooting 62% from the field and 53% from three.
