Looking At Anunoby
GettyOG Anunoby #8 of the New York Knicks warms up prior to Game Five of the 2026 NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs at Frost Bank Center on June 13, 2026 in San Antonio, Texas.
Anunoby was the 23rd pick in the 2017 NBA Draft out of Indiana.
He spent the first 6.5 seasons of his career with the Toronto Raptors.
The 28-year-old also won a title with Toronto (but was injured during the playoffs).
Legion Hoops wrote: “OG Anunoby didn’t play a single minute during the Raptors championship run in 2019. He was 21 years old, recovering from injury, watching his teammates celebrate from the sideline. 7 years later, he’s a critical part of the first Knicks championship in 53 years. New York’s most important defender in the biggest series of his life. Watched a title pass him by. Got traded. Bet on himself. Won it on his own terms. What a freaking story.”
