The Knicks’ head coach Mike Brown has confirmed that OG Anunoby will return to the starting lineup for Saturday’s exhibition against the 76ers, after missing the preseason opener with a hand injury. Anunoby will join Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Mitchell Robinson in what’s expected to be the Knicks’ starting five for the regular season. This adjustment shifts Pacôme Dadiet to the bench, likely positioning Josh Hart in the sixth-man role.

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby is sidelined with a sprained left hand and will miss Thursday’s preseason game against the Philadelphia 76ers, with his status listed as day-to-day. First-round pick Pacôme Dadiet will start in Anunoby’s absence. Amid trade rumors due to salary cap considerations, Dadiet’s performance could influence team decisions regarding their roster, including keeping veterans like Landry Shamet and Malcolm Brogdon.
