Anunoby registered 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 128-98 win over Detroit.
With Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges on the roster, Anunoby isn't typically asked to score in bunches. However, Anunoby's efficient shooting helped him record a season-high 21 points in Friday's blowout win. Across his first five appearances this season, the 27-year-old forward is averaging 13.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 35.0 minutes.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Sitting out Tuesday
Rotowire
Anunoby won't play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Hornets, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Anunoby hasn't suffered any injury but will sit out Tuesday's contest alongside the rest of the Knicks' starters. Anunoby's next chance to suit up will be Friday's preseason finale versus Washington.
Anunoby (hamstring) is healthy ahead of training camp, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Anunoby suffered a hamstring injury during the Knicks' postseason run and missed four straight contests before admirably trying to play in a Game 7 loss to the Pacers. However, the veteran did not look like himself and lasted only five minutes before getting subbed out. The offseason has treated Anunoby well from a health and financial standpoint. He's expected to be full go at training camp and inked a five-year $212.5 million extension. The Knicks made a splash by signing Mikal Bridges this offseason, plus Anunoby and Jalen Brunson (hand) are healthy following an injury-riddled postseason, but it's not all blue skies in New York. Isaiah Hartenstein left for Oklahoma City, Mitchell Robinson (ankle) won't be ready until December or January and Julius Randle is still rehabbing from shoulder surgery ahead of training camp.
