Knicks F OG Anunoby (hamstring) to miss Game 3 vs. Pacers

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby will miss Game 3 of the second-round playoff series against the Indiana Pacers Friday due to a strained left hamstring.

Anunoby was injured late in the third quarter of New York's 130-121 home victory on Wednesday. He scored a personal playoff-high 28 points before exiting the contest.

The Knicks are 26-5 with Anunoby in the lineup -- including 6-2 in the postseason -- since acquiring him from the Toronto Raptors in late December. New York leads the Pacers 2-0 in the best-of-seven series.

Anunoby is averaging 16.4 points and 6.8 rebounds in the playoffs for New York.

Star guard Jalen Brunson was listed as questionable with right foot soreness for the game in Indianapolis. He was injured in the first quarter on Wednesday and returned for the start of the second half. He finished with 29 points.

Brunson had scored at least 40 points in each of the previous four games. That made him just the fourth player to accomplish that feat. Jerry West (six in 1965) holds the record.

Indiana guard Tyrese Haliburton (back spasms) also is listed as questionable.
