Breaking: OG Anunoby had surgery. Out minimum 3 weeks

[Clyde_Style]

This is good news

Quit whining

[TrueWarrior]

What good lads we have on the team.

Mitch, Julius, OG, and Jalen faking injuries so they dont get fried by Thibs in the season, and so Isaiah, Donte, Precious, and Deuce could break out.

Then everyone returns at their peak for the championship run. Genius.

[dakomish23]

Was always the injury risk w/ his history but it’s not that bad.

I might just sit him till the final week.

[Montmorencie]

Time for Bogi to shine. He will average 25 ppg for this time, mark my words

[Moose]

From what I've read about this type of surgery, his return could be during the last week of the season.

It could have been worse. Hopefully we get him for the last 2-3 weeks so he can get back into the flow for playoff time.

It was minor surgery. 3-6 weeks time frame. No way do I want to max him out moving forward but, whatever whatever.

That would be very good news

I read 6-8 weeks and also 8-12 weeks, but very happy to be wrong

In either case, he should have enough time to recover and get some regular season games in

That's according to reports. They expect him to be doing on court activities in 3 weeks and fully healthy this season. It could be longer but, the team doesn't think so.

I read anywhere from 3-6 weeks without surgery to 3-12 weeks with surgery but, it's all about severity. His is reported as minor so they are talking best case scenario so far.

Good news, good news. Thanks.

It would be nice to get this team all healthy together for at least 10 games before the playoffs, but not sure that's going to happen.

[HopelessKnick]

This is good news. They tried it conservatively and it didn't work and the bone fragment wasn't going to go away by it's own. I think 4 weeks may be a more realistic time frame but he is going to be back this season (if the surgery went well as reported).

It has been a tough few weeks for the team after that amazing run. However, there are some very positive things about this as well:

1)Some players like DD and McBride have gotten ample tim and opportunities to gain confidence. Same for IHart.
2)Randle and OG and Mitch will come back in time and have fresh legs for a deep playoff run. Given Thibs intense style of play and heavy minutes, that is a big plus as well.
3)Also keep in mind with Embiid a big question mark and Milwaukee in dissaray I really don't see a big difference between most of these teams. Boston is the best and the rest does not matter in terms of different strength.

I'm bummed a little because I thought we could have legitimately reached 55 wins, but being healthy for the playoffs is the most important thing. And keep in mind that almost all playoff teams had to stomach some star players missing major time (Indy, Cleveland, Orlando, Philly) and so it is not like we are the only team. Really sucks because we were enjoying the best basketball since the Patrick Ewing era, but it is what it is. We could be better come playoff time because of it (players being super confident etc.).

That's very possible.
Mitch was injured 12-5
Randle was injured 1/27
OG had surgery 2-7 (?)

3/21 is just shy of 4 months since Mitch, 8 weeks for Randle, 7 weeks for OG. There will be 14 games left in the season. If we wait another week, 10 games. Fingers crossed.

It really depends on the severity and how deep you have to go in these surgeries. If it was minor like reported and in a "good" location, the procedure is truly minimal, the Trauma to the surrounding tissue minimal and he is going to be back shortly after the all-star break.

Yeah. If we are using Orange and Blue colored lenses it's a blessing in disguise of sorts. We really haven't lost anyone except Grimes from the rotation IF we get everyone back. We are still not out of the woods with Mitch/Randle even with the positive vibes though. OG will most likely be back sooner than both.

It's more about how much we slide between now and then. There are 17 games between now and March 21st. We need to win more than half at the very least IMO. 10-7 Would be a good run AFAIC. 43-26 with 13 to play is a good run. Hopefully we are all back healthy by then.

And I feel with Brunson-Deuce-DD-Hart-Burks-Bojan-Precious-IHart a 10-7 record is doable. Not easy but doable.

We went 4-2 since losing Randle/OG/Grimes. That's really inspiring to me. We were running 7-8 man rotations for 6 games and won most of them!! Could have won them all. Luckily we played some weak teams but, STILL. CHA/UTA/IND/LAL/MEM/DAL in that stretch.

If we get back Brunson and Sims by Saturday we should win another game or two before the break. IND/HOU/ORL. IF we can steal two more we only need to go 8-6 the rest of the way. Very doable!!

Any combo forwards on the waiver
/buyout wire?

Read on Twitter

give me marcus morris!!

never been a big fan of the morris twins' antics.. but these boys are buying in and are good soldiers feel like we cant have enough of these kind of players

[pilkoids]

Get used to this. OG always has some weird injury that knocks him out for 2 to 3 weeks, he then takes another 2 weeks to adjust where his shooting/conditioning looks like crap. Raps have seen this for his entire career.

[Stannis]

The timing though...

Did the OG team wait to release this so teams wouldn't have the upper hand in trade talks? Or, I wonder if OG was going to try to just fight it out if the Knicks didn't make the Bojan + Burks trade? Both?

Yeah he is just injury prone---but if you have players all around that ensure a top 5 seed regardless....that all you need to do is make sure OG is healthy for the playoffs. As long as that happens it really doesn't matter much if he only appears in 60 games repeatedly.

Im guessing the Knicks FO waited so that negotiating teams (like Detroit) wouldn't have extra leverage edge over them. Pretty savy if you ask me.
