The Eastern Conference semifinals continue Sunday with the New York Knicks looking to close out the Philadelphia 76ers. But as Game 4 approaches, all eyes are on the injury reports for OG Anunoby and Joel Embiid, two stars whose availability could shape the outcome. Yankee Scores reports.
New York enters with a commanding 3‑0 series lead after defeating Philadelphia on the road in Game 3 on Friday night.
Star Guard Jalen Brunson led the way for Knicks as he recorded 33 points 5 rebounds and 9 assists. New York will look to grab another victory on the road on Sunday as they try to cap the series and push to the Eastern Conference Finals.
New York Knicks may yet be without OG Anunoby again. The forward is listed as questionable in the last injury update with a right hamstring strain suffered in Game 2. If he sits, Miles McBride, Jordan Clarkson, and Landry Shamet are expected to see expanded roles.
Sixers haven’t submitted their injury report for Game 4 yet but Knicks have and they’re listing OG Anunoby (hamstring) as questionable for Sunday. Knicks lead Sixers, 3-0, in second round series.

Sixers Await Embiid’s Status
Philadelphia trails 0‑3 and desperately needs Joel Embiid on the floor to avoid elimination. Embiid is listed in the injury update as probable with right hip soreness after returning in Game 3, where he posted 18 points, six rebounds, and five assists.
Kelly Oubre Jr. led the Sixers with 22 points in that loss, but the team knows Embiid’s presence is critical to extending the series.
