Josh Hart and OG Anunoby are both set to play in Game 7 for the New York Knicks as they face off against the Indiana Pacers. Despite recent injuries, both players will be taking the floor for the crucial matchup at Madison Square Garden.
Hart left Game 6 with an abdominal strain but was always expected to play in Game 7. His teammate Jalen Brunson confirmed this, emphasizing the importance of the do-or-die game. “We need him out there,” said Brunson. “He’s a key part of our team and we can’t afford to lose him.”
Anunoby has been out since Game 2 with a left hamstring strain, missing multiple games before being upgraded to questionable for Game 7. Like Hart, he is determined to play through the pain and do whatever it takes to help his team advance to the Eastern Conference Finals. “I’m feeling better every day,” said Anunoby. “I just want to get back on that court and help my team win.”
The return of these two key players is a major boost for the Knicks as they look to secure a victory and advance in the playoffs. Their presence on the court will be instrumental in the team’s efforts to reach the next round for the first time in over two decades. “We have a great chance if we can get our full squad on that court,” said coach Tom Thibodeau.
