The rival 76ers may sign a top defensive free agent, costing the Knicks

The New York Knicks face a challenging off-season, with key decisions to make regarding their roster, particularly concerning elite free agent defender OG Anunoby.

Anunoby’s postseason was cut short due to a hamstring injury, which sidelined him during a critical playoff series against the Indiana Pacers. Despite the setback, he demonstrated remarkable efficiency when available, averaging 15.1 points and six rebounds, with a shooting percentage of .505.

Throughout the regular season, Anunoby posted averages of 14.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists, shooting .489 from the field across his tenure with both the Toronto Raptors and the Knicks.

At 26, Anunoby is poised to secure a significant contract, likely in the vicinity of $35 million annually, a substantial increase from the $20 million player option for the 2024-25 season. Opting out of his current contract appears to be a logical step for him, positioning him for a lucrative free agency period.
