New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is going through contact drills and is playing five-on-five now, according to head coach Tom Thibodeau. While it sounds like Anunoby is getting closer to a return, and Thibodeau said he's now day-to-day, the forward hasn't been cleared to fully play yet. The 26-year-old three-and-D specialist should be deemed doubtful ahead of Friday's tilt versus the Orlando Magic, but it appears that he could suit up as soon as Sunday's meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. Precious Achiuwa has handled a monstrous workload with Anunoby on the shelf since late January, logging 36.4 minutes per game over his last 16 contests and averaging 12.6 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.6 combined steals and blocks over this span. Keep him rostered in fantasy leagues.

The Athletic's Shams Charania hears the New York Knicks hope forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is back on the floor in two or three weeks. Anunoby underwent surgery on his right elbow on Feb. 8, and he could be ready for full practices in early March. Precious Achiuwa will continue occupying heavy workloads in Anunoby's stead, facing a difficult task on Tuesday against a New Orleans Pelicans team that ranks sixth in opponent field-goal percentage (46.4%).

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, speaking on NBA Countdown, New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is expected to be re-evaluated at the end of next week. The 26-year-old has averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 boards, 1.8 steals, and 1.1 blocks in 14 games with the Knicks. Unfortunately, he had a loose bone fragment in his elbow and underwent surgery on February 8. But Anunoby remains on schedule regarding a potential return, so fantasy managers should remain optimistic that things continue to move in the right direction. At any rate, Josh Hart, averaging nearly a double-double in 16 starts this season, is worth rostering in any fantasy format until Anunoby is healthy enough to return.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) underwent surgery on Thursday. The former Raptor, who was traded to New York in December, has averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.8 steals in 14 appearances with the Knicks. However, he's missed the last five games because of an elbow issue. After further tests, it was revealed that Anunoby had a loose bone fragment in his right elbow, requiring him to go under the knife. He's expected to resume basketball activities in three weeks. But with the All-Star break on the horizon, the blow to fantasy managers might not be as impactful. That said, Donte DiVincenzo and the newly acquired Bojan Bogdanovic could see more work until Anunoby is healthy.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) remains out for Thursday's tilt versus the Dallas Mavericks. The Knicks have updated Anunoby's injury from inflammation to a bone spur irritation in his right elbow, which can't help but sound a bit more complicated than the original listing. With the All-Star break on the horizon, New York could opt to hold Anunoby out until play resumes to get this issue fully resolved, but the forward nonetheless has a chance to end a six-game absence on Saturday against the visiting Indiana Pacers in the final game of a six-game homestand. Head coach Tom Thibodeau has tightened his rotations to eight players with Quentin Grimes (knee) out of the mix, leaving behind ample playing time for Precious Achiuwa. Averaging 13.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 1.4 blocks in 39.8 minutes across his past five games, Achiuwa remains a strong fantasy streamer on Thursday.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This marks the fifth game in a row that Anunoby will sit out due to elbow inflammation. Precious Achiuwa should remain in the starting five until Anunoby can play again. Achiuwa was quiet when he first joined the team. However, he has played better lately and is a decent streaming choice until Anunoby returns.

According to Tim Bontemps of ESPN, New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) remains without a return date. The former Raptor has missed the team's previous four games because of elbow inflammation, and it appears there's a realistic chance he won't play on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. It's a tough blow for the Knicks and Anunoby, with the 26-year-old averaging 15.6 points, 1.8 steals, and 1.1 blocks since the trade that sent him from Toronto to New York. At any rate, until Anunoby is cleared to return, Precious Achiuwa, averaging 12.3 points, 1.5 blocks, and 1.0 steals in four starts this season, is worth streaming in any fantasy format.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This marks the fourth game in a row that Anunoby has missed due to right elbow inflammation. His absence means that Josh Hart and Precious Achiuwa should remain in the starting five. Both have stepped up lately and provided top-100 fantasy value with the Knicks shorthanded. That being said, Hart and Achiuwa are looking like must-have fantasy options until the Knicks get healthy.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. It hasn't taken the 26-year-old long to adapt to life with his new team, averaging 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.8 steals in 14 games with the Knicks. He's missed the last three with an elbow injury. But if Anunoby can't return on Saturday, Donte DiVincenzo should continue to benefit.

New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau says forward OG Anunoby (elbow) will not play in Thursday's game versus the Indiana Pacers. Anunoby requires a third consecutive absence due to inflammation in his right elbow, and he'll look to return to the court on Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers for the third game of New York's six-game homestand. After starting the past two contests and dropping 18 points in 40 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Utah Jazz, Precious Achiuwa remains an adequate streaming choice in fantasy hoops and should play heavy minutes again with Quentin Grimes (knee) also out for the Knicks.

New York Knicks guard/forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against Indiana. He's dealing with right elbow inflammation and might be kept off the court for a third straight game. Anunoby has suffered the injury blow after enjoying a hugely impressive start to life in the Big Apple. He's averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.8 steals as a Knick, going 12-2 with his new team. Anunoby's spot in the starting unit has been filled by Precious Achiuwa, who's begun to offer quite a bit of value to fantasy managers. The 24-year-old also benefits from Julius Randle's (shoulder) absence and was even among the team leaders in playing time with 40:15 on Tuesday versus Utah.

New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau says forward OG Anunoby (elbow) is out for Tuesday's matchup versus the Utah Jazz. Anunoby was a late scratch for Monday's rout of the Charlotte Hornets due to inflammation in his right elbow, and he should be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's contest against the Indiana Pacers when the Knicks continue their six-game homestand. Precious Achiuwa and Josh Hart started on Monday and should do so again on Tuesday.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby (elbow) has been ruled out against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday due to right elbow inflammation. This will be the 26-year-old's first missed game as a member of the Knicks for something other than traveling to join the team when he was first traded. Anunoby has been a tremendous addition as the team has gone 12-2 since he's stepped on the court with them. In that span, he's averaged 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.1 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers per game. While he's out, Donte DiVincenzo and Josh Hart will likely see the biggest increase in usage. Precious Achiuwa is also set to start since Julius Randle (shoulder) is out of the lineup. All of whom can be solid streaming options.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby led the team in scoring on Thursday, putting up 26 points along with six steals in the team's 122-84 blowout win over the Denver Nuggets. This was just the second time in 13 games with the Knicks that Anunoby scored at least 20 points and the fourth time he made three or more three-pointers. The Knicks' defense was already one of the NBA's best this season, and adding an elite wing defender like Anunoby has only made them scarier on that end. He'll look to continue his strong play on Saturday against the Heat.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby made his team debut during Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It looks like the Knicks got exactly what they needed as Anunoby displayed a strong defensive ability with reliable catch-and-shoot accuracy. He finished Monday's game with 17 points, six rebounds, and one assist with three 3-pointers in the victory. The hope is that Anunoby will continue to do better once he gets more comfortable with his new teammates.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby isn't listed on the league's injury report ahead of Monday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Although he's not hurt, he didn't suit up on Saturday versus the Pacers while the trade between the Raptors and Knicks, which also involved RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley, was finalized. At any rate, the 26-year-old averaged 15.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 27 games with Toronto this season. He's expected to improve in many statistical areas with his new team. However, while Anunoby remains a must-start in season-long fantasy setups, DFS managers should take a cautious approach, especially since it may take him a few games to get acclimated with how things work under head coach Tom Thibodeau.

The Knicks acquired forward OG Anunoby from the Raptors on Saturday. In exchange, Toronto landed forward RJ Barrett and guard Immanuel Quickley. Anunoby had been rumored to be on the block for the last few seasons, although it appeared the Raptors weren't interested in sending him elsewhere. The 26-year-old has averaged 11.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists. Yet, he's most known for his defensive prowess, averaging 1.2 steals. Unfortunately, Anunoby has had issues staying healthy over the years, appearing in fewer than 48 games in two of his previous three seasons. But he has plenty of untapped potential, so playing under head coach Tom Thibodeau could do wonders for his development moving ahead.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (hand) is listed as probable ahead of Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It appears Anunoby is ready to return following a three-game absence. His return will move Gary Trent Jr. to the second unit, where he has been less effective. There is no word on whether or not Anunoby will be limited if he suits up. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to tip-off on Sunday for another update on his status. If active, fantasy managers should make sure to get Anunoby get in their lineups.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (finger) is "not looking good" for Friday's In-Season Tournament game versus the Boston Celtics. Anunoby needed stitches for a laceration he sustained on his right finger while doing household chores, per head coach Darko Rajakovic. The 26-year-old three-and-D swingman is limited to using his left hand in practice, leaving him doubtful for Friday's action and likely to miss his third straight meeting. Anunoby is a huge loss any time he's not on the court for Toronto's defense and jump-shooting, averaging 16.4 points, 2.8 threes, and 1.3 steals across eight games. The Detroit Pistons are on deck for the Raptors on Sunday. Even with Gary Trent Jr. (foot) expected to go against the Celtics, first-round rookie Gradey Dick could still continue to absorb an expanded role, but his fantasy value is mostly restricted to points and threes.

Toronto Raptors guard/forward OG Anunoby (finger) is in danger of missing a second straight game Wednesday versus Milwaukee. He's suffered a right-finger laceration, leaving the Raptors without their best defender. Anunoby has also been on the roll offensively early in the season, shooting 51 percent from the field to average 16.4 points per game. Otto Porter Jr. made a start in Anunoby's absence on Monday versus Washington but didn't have much of an impact, logging just 14 minutes and scoring five points.
