He was in immediate pain following the play, andwas forced to commit a foul to allow Anunoby an effort to sub out and hobble his way to the locker room.Anunoby, who had scored a playoff career-high 28 points at the time of the injury, has averaged 46 minutes per game for the short-handed Knicks in the four contests leading up to Game 2.
Anunoby, one of the league's finest defenders, has been an enormous difference-maker for the Knicks since being traded to the club in late December. New York's sterling mark of 100.9 points per 100 possessions allowed with Anunoby on the floor -- a stat that would have been the best in the NBA on a team scale -- was 14.1 points better than when he was off. Between the regular season and playoffs, the Knicks have gone 26-5 so far with him in the lineup.
