OG Anunoby's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is questionable for Tuesday's meeting with the 76ers. He hasn't played in over a month because of elbow surgery. But the former Raptor has recently ramped things up at practice and is labeled as day-to-day. That said, there's still a good chance Anunoby won't be available versus Philadelphia. If that's the case, fantasy managers could see the 26-year-old back in the lineup when the Knicks begin a four-game road trip on Thursday in Portland. Unfortunately, it could take Anunoby some time to get his legs back under him, meaning his fantasy potential could be capped for at least a few games once he's cleared.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out of at least one more game while he works his way back from elbow surgery. The 26-year-old has returned to full contact at practice and the team has considered him day-to-day. There was an outside chance that he was going to return on Friday, but his next chance to take the court will be either Sunday or Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Precious Achiuwa, Josh Hart, and Bojan Bogdanovic will continue to see more minutes in the meantime. All three will likely take a hit to their fantasy value once Anunoby returns, but his first few games are probably going to be limited minutes as he gets acclimated to game speed again.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is going through contact drills and is playing five-on-five now, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. While it sounds like Anunoby is getting closer to a return, and Thibodeau said he's now day-to-day, the forward hasn't been cleared to fully play yet. The 26-year-old three-and-D specialist should be deemed doubtful ahead of Friday's tilt versus the Orlando Magic, but it appears that he could suit up as soon as Sunday's meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. Precious Achiuwa has handled a monstrous workload with Anunoby on the shelf since late January, logging 36.4 minutes per game over his last 16 contests and averaging 12.6 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.6 combined steals and blocks over this span. Keep him rostered in fantasy leagues.

The Athletic's Shams Charania hears the New York Knicks hope forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is back on the floor in two or three weeks. Anunoby underwent surgery on his right elbow on Feb. 8, and he could be ready for full practices in early March. Precious Achiuwa will continue occupying heavy workloads in Anunoby's stead, facing a difficult task on Tuesday against a New Orleans Pelicans team that ranks sixth in opponent field-goal percentage (46.4%).

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, speaking on NBA Countdown, New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is expected to be re-evaluated at the end of next week. The 26-year-old has averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 boards, 1.8 steals, and 1.1 blocks in 14 games with the Knicks. Unfortunately, he had a loose bone fragment in his elbow and underwent surgery on February 8. But Anunoby remains on schedule regarding a potential return, so fantasy managers should remain optimistic that things continue to move in the right direction. At any rate, Josh Hart, averaging nearly a double-double in 16 starts this season, is worth rostering in any fantasy format until Anunoby is healthy enough to return.
