"I'm told there's not been enough progress yet to think that his return's likely in Game 5 Tuesday," said Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

"Now, after that Game 5 on Tuesday, there [are] two days off before Game 6 Friday, so maybe there's some hope there, but the Knicks are going to have to continue to win and try to put away this series without OG Anunoby. It is a war of attrition for this Knicks roster," he concluded.

Anunoby suffered the injury late in the third period of Game 2 of the series on a layup attempt. He had scored a playoff-career-high 28 points before exiting the game.

He is averaging 16.4 points (50% FG), 6.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.1 blocks per game in the NBA playoffs.

The Knicks hold a 2-1 lead over the Pacers in the best-of-seven series.
