New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby is listed as questionable for Game 3 after sustaining a right hamstring strain on Wednesday [1, 2].

Anunoby serves as the team's second-leading scorer for the season [1]. His availability is critical as the Knicks attempt to extend their lead in the second-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers.

The injury occurred late in the fourth quarter of Game 2 during a non-contact incident [2, 3]. Despite the injury to their key forward, the Knicks secured a 108-102 victory over the 76ers [3]. The game was played at Madison Square Garden, where the team is currently dominating the series.

Team officials said Anunoby is day-to-day [2]. He remains uncertain for the upcoming Game 3, which is scheduled for Friday at Madison Square Garden [1, 4].

With the Knicks currently leading the series 2-0 [4], the team holds a significant advantage heading into the weekend. However, the loss of a primary scoring threat could shift the momentum in favor of Philadelphia if Anunoby is unable to return to the court.

The medical diagnosis confirms the strain is located in the right leg [1, 2]. The team will continue to evaluate his condition leading up to the tip-off on Friday.

The timing of this injury creates a tactical dilemma for the Knicks. While they hold a commanding series lead, losing their second-leading scorer reduces their offensive versatility and defensive flexibility. If Anunoby remains sidelined, New York must rely more heavily on their remaining starters to prevent Philadelphia from gaining momentum in the series.
