Injuries continue to plague the New York Knicks, casting a shadow over their performance in Game 2 against the Indiana Pacers.
The Knicks faced a challenging Wednesday night, compounded by the absence of Jalen Brunson in the second period of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Their woes worsened with the loss of another starter, OG Anunoby, who exited the game due to a sore left hamstring. Despite Anunoby’s departure, he made a significant impact, contributing 28 points, with the majority scored in the first half.
Anunoby’s absence highlights his crucial role since joining the Knicks from the Toronto Raptors in a trade late last December. With an impressive record of 25-5, including postseason games, when Anunoby is on the court, the Knicks have demonstrated their reliance on his presence for success.
As the Knicks navigate the challenges posed by injuries, their resilience will be put to the test. Despite setbacks, they have shown the ability to rally and overcome adversity.
However, with key players sidelined, the team must dig deep to maintain their competitive edge and secure victory in Game 2 against the Pacers.
