The ankle issue that flared during a late-season win over Toronto kept him out of Sunday’s game against Charlotte, along with several other core players. Still, the practice session on Wednesday offered a more hopeful read on his availability for the postseason.
In the April 10 matchup with the Raptors, Anunoby played 15 minutes, finishing 1-for-4 from the field for two points, with five rebounds and three assists.
This season, the forward appeared in 67 games for the Knicks, posting 16.7 points on 48.4% shooting and 38.6% from three, along with 4.9 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. His two-way impact has remained a valuable asset for New York.
Playoff projections place Anunoby as a key two-way contributor for a Knicks team looking to advance. Over the past two seasons with New York, he has appeared in 27 playoff games, averaging 15.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per contest, with strong shooting efficiency.
New York has not released a full injury report yet, but the trajectory around Anunoby suggests he could be cleared for the playoffs. His availability would bolster both the Knicks’ defense and their offensive capabilities as they chase a deep postseason run.
As the Knicks gear up for a potential series against the Hawks at Madison Square Garden, Anunoby’s status remains the focal point of optimism around the club’s rotation heading into the 2026 postseason.
