Anunoby's 'Nightmarish' Return from Toe Injury Against Pistons

AutoDraft Pro AI

OG Anunoby returned for the Knicks against the Pistons after a four-game absence due to a right toenail avulsion, which left him with an "open wound" and "a lot of pain." His comeback was described as "nightmarish," as he struggled defensively against Cade Cunningham, allowing him to shoot 57.1% as the primary defender. Anunoby also had a poor offensive outing, scoring just 8 points on 3-for-13 shooting (1-for-8 3Pt) in 32 minutes. His status for minute restrictions was unclear after not playing since Feb. 4.
