Anunoby was hurt late in Game 2 of the Knicks\u2019 second-round sweep of Philadelphia and sat out the next two games. He returned to practice during New York\u2019s lengthy wait between rounds and fully participated during the final three practices leading into this series.<\/p>\n

Anunoby injured his other hamstring two years ago, also during Game 2 of the second round, missed the next four games and was able to play only five minutes in Game 7. He said the pain this time wasn\u2019t as bad.<\/p>
