Knicks' OG Anunoby: Healthy heading into camp
OG Anunoby (hamstring) is healthy ahead of training camp, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.Anunoby suffered a hamstring injury during the New York 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.

OG Anunoby (hamstring) intends to ink a five-year, $212.5 million contract extension with the Knicks, which includes a player option and trade kicker, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.Anunoby's extension comes in the wake of the Knicks trading for Mikal Bridges, giving the team an excellent wing tandem heading into 2024-25. Anunoby was injured for much of his Knicks tenure last season, but he averaged 14.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks across 36.2 minutes during his 31 regular-season and playoff games, minus his five-minute final appearance in Game 7 of the second round against Indiana. His role should remain similar this upcoming season, especially with Julius Randle presumably returning healthy in addition to Bridges' addition.

OG Anunoby: Declines player option Monday
OG Anunoby (hamstring) declined his $19.9 million player option for 2024-25 on Monday and will become an unrestricted free agent, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.It was inevitable that Anunoby would decline his player option, as he has a reported market value of around $35 million-plus per year going into free agency, which starts June 30. The 26-year-old has proven his worth as a solid wing defender and three-point shooter, but his injury history is another factor teams will consider before making him an offer. Anunoby was traded from the Raptors to the Knicks on Dec. 30, and he averaged 14.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.7 steals, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks across 34.9 minutes in 23 regular-season appearances for New York.
