Returns from Ankle Injury to Boost Knicks in Playoff Opener

OG Anunoby made an emphatic return to the Knicks' lineup for their Game 1 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, showing no signs of the ankle injury that sidelined him for the regular-season finale. The star wing had injured the ankle in the second-to-last game of the season, but his presence in the playoff opener provided a significant defensive and athletic boost for New York. His ability to play through the ailment helped the Knicks secure a 113-102 win and take an early series lead.
