NEW YORK — OG Anunoby will miss the New York Knicks‘ game against Houston on Monday night, sitting out for the first time this season because of a sprained right foot.
The Knicks originally listed the starting forward as questionable to play when they submitted their injury report Sunday. He was then downgraded to out on Monday.
Anunoby was hurt Saturday during the Knicks’ 128-112 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. He had caught the ball near the left sideline while guarded by LeBron James and went to one knee while holding his lower right leg. He eventually got up and walked to the locker room area.

Coach Tom Thibodeau said after the game that X-rays on Anunoby’s foot were negative.
Anunoby has started all 49 games for the Knicks, averaging 16.4 points.
Since the start of the 2023-24 campaign, New York has gone 52-19 with him in the lineup and 30-29 without him.
Following Monday’s game, the Knicks next visit Toronto on Tuesday night.
