OG Anunoby has been cleared for on-court work, Tom Thibodeau said on Thursday.

"He can shoot, dribble, pass. No contact yet, but the next step, he’ll start that tomorrow,” said Thibodeau.

Anunoby has been out since having elbow surgery on January 27.

There is no timetable for Anunoby's return to practice. 

"The good thing is him getting cleared today. Now you’re going into the next phase and he’ll be checked by our medical people daily. This next step was the important one. Once the contact is added, then he’ll be ready to go,” added Thibodeau.

He’ll be back in two weeks.

At this stage, Knicks should go for the sixth seed rather than fourth.

His inability to stay on the court was one of the reasons the Raptors didn't want to keep him around for his next contract.
He's an elite 3&D guy, but he's in an out of the line-up so much he's often not in the flow long before he needs another couple of games off.
