OG Anunoby's Elbow Setback Puts New York Knicks' Winning Streak in Jeopardy

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby is facing another setback in his recovery from elbow surgery, as a post-surgical flare-up has sidelined him for an indefinite period. Anunoby, who had a procedure to remove a loose particle from his shooting elbow, will need time for his elbow to calm down before he can return to the court. The Knicks have seen a stark contrast in their performance with Anunoby on and off the court, boasting a 15-2 record with him in the lineup since January 1st.

Anunoby's impact defensively has been a game-changer for the Knicks, with stats showing that he holds opponents to just 35% shooting as the closest defender since the start of the year. This stellar defensive prowess has earned him the third-best plus-minus rating in the league since joining the team in December, showcasing his value as a key contributor in New York's success. Despite the setback, Knicks fans will be eagerly awaiting Anunoby's return to the lineup to bolster the team's defensive strength and continue their winning ways.
