New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby has been ruled out of Sunday afternoon’s game against the home Boston Celtics due to a toe injury.

Anunoby joined center Karl-Anthony Towns (right eye laceration) in not playing Friday as New York saw its season-high eight-game winning streak halted with a 118-80 loss to the Detroit Pistons.

However, Towns and guard Josh Hart (ankle) are available to play Sunday against the Celtics.

All three players were listed as questionable on the injury report.

Anunoby, 28, is averaging 16.6 points and 5.5 rebounds in 41 games (all starts) this season.

Towns, 30, contributes a team-high 19.9 points and 11.9 rebounds in 48 games (all starts) in 2025-26.

Hart, 30, is averaging 12.1 points and 7.6 rebounds in 40 games (26 starts) this season.
