elbow surgeries always improve your shot, unless its a cartilage and bone loss or nerve damages...

even Lebron is shooting better after his elbow surgery

shoulder surgeries are devastating in that regard... and lets hope that Randle's shot wont get messed up... Carmelo Anthony had a lot of problems shooting from beyond the arc after the surgery... almost a year after he started to shoot them comfortably...

Pain could have been a factor with the longer 3s (wing and above the break). Hopefully once he’s recovered and back, he can knock it down from those other 3pt areas of the floor besides the corners.


it’s really annoying (from my personal experience). like the feeling of having a rock in your shoe but it’s in your elbow, if that makes any sense lol.

definitely more worried about Randle’s shot coming back compared to OG’s. especially because he likes to play bully ball.

Randle’s injury is to his non-shooting shoulder.

Elbows are simple because they only bend/rotate one way.

A shoulder is capsular so it rotates more ways than any other joint in the human body (even more so than the neck). It’s a more complicated surgery and rehabilitation/therapy to recover from.

Nah, that's definitely not how it works, cause plenty of other great defenders aren't routinely missing almost half the season like this.

He's played in 158 games the 3 previous seasons, out of a possible 236, that is not good.

List your great defenders his size guarding 1-5 and lets look at the games...and regardless...you cant fault
a player for removal of bone fragments...atleast they can be removed.



He wasn't guarding 1-5 in college when he tore his ACL, the guy is just injury prone independent of being a defender. It's like saying Embiid is injury prone because he bangs in the paint, while turning a blind eye to all the other centers that bang in the paint and don't get injured.


We knew he was injury prone when he traded for him, and he's now injured.

more for the long range shot you should be worried... contrary, he would be forced for more bully ball (or at least more driving and spinning to the hoop) cause shoulders affect a lot the shooting motions and mechanics... he has to teach some hook shots and one -left-handed jams

OG Anunoby's injury history includes: Had a torn ACL in college; and a couple years in the pros before last season that involved missed lengths of time due to a fractured finger, hip pointer & calf strain.

he never had knee injuries again... but anybody with a lengthy body shape is at more risk of having multiple injuries... if he can avoid foot injuries, he shall be good to go for many seasons

Just because the Knicks historically (before the current regime took over) were bad when it came to player injury management and announcements doesn’t mean this current regime is hiding injury information just to do it.

Clearly they did their best to manage this injury without surgery. Even without taking the route of them not announcing an injury for trade leverage (which I think played a part in it), from a medical standpoint sometimes you have to wait for inflammation and swelling to reduce to tell what the full extent of the injury is and to operate on said injury.

He’s getting surgery early, he’ll be ready for the stretch run, we made a trade that helped with our depth in the present moment and when he gets back, while not getting taken advantage of in the trade market.

This is the best case scenario in this situation.

Randle didn’t injure his shooting arm.

As a Raptors fan this bad news is unfortunately not a surprise. Anunoby misses time every year. The good news is though that when he comes back from injury he is his same old self right away. This is concerning though as I believe he needs surgery on his shooting elbow. Selfishly I hope the Knicks are able to stay ahead of the Pacers in the standings.. The Siakam trade is looking like a disaster. Good luck in the playoffs and I will be chearing for you guys and OG.

the opponents yes... they can re-aggravate it if they hit him like West and Garnett have done to Melo in 2013

I dont think people realize what 82 games a season does to the human body. OG is clearly elite and puts in physical work -night in and night out that 80% of the league does not. That will take a toll... Appreciate you posting the detailed list of injuries for context :D

I’m just glad it’s something that was correctable so we don’t have to worry about it popping up at inopportune times, like a migraine.

Huh... I had a weird feeling yesterday that OG had surgery and we weren't told yet. :meditate:
