Knicks’ OG Anunoby Exits Game Against Lakers with Foot Sprain

In a pivotal matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers on February 1, 2025, New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby faced an unfortunate setback as he exited the game early due to a right foot sprain. The injury was sustained during the first quarter while Anunoby was driving towards the basket. After a difficult landing, he was seen limping off the court and did not return for the remainder of the game. Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau addressed the team’s concerns, saying, ‘We need to assess the situation further before making any predictions, but OG is a vital part of our lineup.’ The Knicks ultimately lost the game 112-104, struggling to maintain their ground without Anunoby’s defensive prowess and scoring ability. Early reports suggest that Anunoby will undergo further evaluations, and the Knicks organization is hopeful for a speedy recovery. Knicks fans and analysts will be keeping a close eye on updates regarding his condition, especially considering the important games coming up in their schedule.
