INDIANAPOLIS — As for Josh Hart, there was clear confidence from his two teammates, Jalen Brunson and Isaiah Hartenstein, that he would be available for Sunday’s game despite his abdominal injury.
“I think he’ll play, Game 7,” Brunson said after the Knicks’ 116-103 loss to the Pacers in Game 6.
Or, as Hartenstein said, “I’ve never talked to him, but just knowing him, he’d do anything to play.” If his foot hadn’t fallen off, I would say he’ll probably play. ”
However, there was no such message of confidence for OG Anunoby, who has missed four straight games with a hamstring strain and has already been ruled out for Game 7, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. It is said that
Anunoby, who missed 32 games in the regular season (mostly with an elbow issue), could play in Game 1 of the Conference Finals in Boston, but that would be in question if the Knicks lose Sunday against MSG. .
When asked about Anunoby’s status in Game 7, Tom Thibodeau paused, saying, “I don’t care about the medical opinion.”
What do you mean by “medical care”?
“He lives hand to mouth,” Thibodeau replied.
Although there is no timeline for recovery yet, Anunoby has technically been living hand-to-mouth for 10 days and will continue to do so.
