OG Anunoby could not suit up for the New York Knicks’ first preseason game due to a hand injury. It took him only two quarters of their second matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers to prove that he’s worth the wait—and that he might be barreling toward a career year.
Through just under 17 minutes of action, Anunoby scored 13 points on 4-of-7 shooting, including a 3-of-5 clip from beyond the arc. While we did not see extended pockets of him creating his own shot, this is looking more like a feature rather than a bug.
All of Anunoby’s best touches came within the flow of the offense.
