OG Anunoby was forced to leave the game during Friday’s Raptors vs. Knicks matchup after suffering a left ankle injury.
According to TSN, the New York Knicks forward did not return after halftime in the game against his former team, the Toronto Raptors.
It is unclear when the injury occurred, but Anunoby finished with two points, five rebounds and three assists in 15 minutes of play.
The 28-year-old has been a key player for the Knicks this season, averaging 16.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game before Friday’s game.
His early exit could raise concerns for New York, especially as the playoffs approach. The Knicks and Raptors are both in the mix and could potentially meet in the first round.
Anunoby, who played for Toronto before joining New York, has been a vital defensive presence and scoring option for his team.
