In a disappointing turn of events, the New York Knicks fell short in a close game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, ultimately losing 112-109. The Knicks were noticeably missing key players due to injuries, with forward Josh Hart revealing that OG Anunoby and Julius Randle are unlikely to return this season.
Anunoby recently underwent a procedure on his elbow, while Randle has been sidelined with a shoulder injury. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau stressed the importance of taking the rehabilitation process day by day for both players.
The absence of Anunoby and Randle was felt during the game, particularly in the final minutes when the Knicks missed five crucial free throws. This led to their defeat, keeping them in a tight race for playoff positioning in the Eastern Conference.
On the other hand, the Thunder’s victory over the Knicks secured a playoff spot for them for the first time since 2020. Despite the setback, the Knicks are determined to bounce back and make a final push for a playoff berth in the remaining games of the season.
