2024 Outlook
Roster %
Eligibility
OG Anunoby intends to sign a five-year, $212.5 million contract to return to the New York Knicks.
Fantasy Impact
Despite Anunoby declining his player option, New York wasn't expected to let him walk. The deal is expected to include a player option and a trade kicker. The Knicks are running it back along with the acquisition of Mikal Bridges.
The Knicks are reportedly still determined to keep OG Anunoby in free agency.
Fantasy Impact
Anunoby declined his player option, which was expected as he is seeking a long-term deal. There were questions as to if the Knicks could bring him back following the trade for Mikal Bridges, but it appears they can. After trading Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett for Anunoby in the middle of this past season, it would be tough for them to let him walk. This remains a situation to monitor with the start of free agency around the corner.
OG Anunoby has declined his $19.9 million player option for next season.
Fantasy Impact
Anunoby will now officially become an unrestricted free agent this summer with free agency starting on Sunday. It is still possible he returns to the Knicks, but he'll test the open market.
OG Anunoby has been upgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
Fantasy Impact
Anunoby, who has been sidelined since Game 2, is expected to go through shootaround ahead of Sunday's game. At that point, the team will make a decision on if he can play.
Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said "Whatever medical says" when asked if there is a chance that OG Anunoby plays Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Thibodeau said the doctors are saying Anunoby remains day-to-day. It will be all or nothing for New York at home in Game 7 against the Pacers who hopes to advance to face the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. This will remain a situation to monitor.
