November 2025

OG Anunoby will miss at least two weeks with a left hamstring strain and will not travel on the Knicks’ upcoming road swing, removing a key two way starter who averages 15.8 points per game from a rotation already missing All Star guard Jalen Brunson through ankle trouble. Hurt early in a high scoring win over Miami, Anunoby will be re evaluated after a fortnight while the Knicks scramble to cover his scoring and perimeter defence. The setback places extra load on remaining wings and raises concern about rhythm as the schedule toughens away from Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks are considering trading 20-year-old guard Pacome Dadiet to keep veterans Malcolm Brogdon and Landry Shamet on guaranteed deals. With roster spots tight, the franchise continues to reshape its depth around Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and Mikal Bridges. Drafted 25th overall in 2024, Dadiet played sparingly last season, averaging 1.7 points.
