The Knicks and Suns are among the interested suitors in Raptors forward O.G. Anunoby, sources say. New York has shown a willingness to offer multiple first-round picks for Anunoby, according to those sources. The Suns, meanwhile, have control of all of their first-round picks — eight in total —through 2030. SNY first reported the Knicks’ interest last week.

Just now watching that 1Q the Raptors put together. It’s rare to see one frontcourt come out and completely dominate another. Toronto was missing Anunoby, PDX minus Hart & Nurkic. Annihilation. Daaaaamn, Precious Achiuwa. – 2:52 AM

Can’t the Grizzlies just send Danny Green, Zhaire Williams and 3 unprotected 1sts to Toronto for OG Anunoby so we can kick off NBA Trade season? Someone’s gotta jump in the pool. – 10:57 AM

Jonathan Kuminga just shot 4-for-4 from 3-point range in the 3rd, Andrew Wiggins didn’t play and OG Anunoby got hurt in the 1st half. Yep, this under is dead. – 11:47 PM

Anunoby had xrays on his left wrist; nothing broken but will have further testing tomorrow to determine extent of sprain. He will not return vs. Warriors. – 11:05 PM

It’s a left wrist sprain for O.G. Anunoby. X-Rays revealed no further damage, but he will have further imaging and evaluation tomorrow. He’s done for tonight, obviously. – 11:05 PM

Wow. That was close to being a major injury. Anunoby is still holding his left wrist and his being taken to the bench by trainer Scotty McCulloch. Might try to shoot his free throws to stay in the game, but he’s in some pain for sure. Scary one. – 10:43 PM

Anunoby takes a hard fall under the bucket. Hopefully it looked worse than it was… because it looked awful. – 10:42 PM

Fred VanVleet is expected to sign with Klutch Sports, per @Marc Stein. Klutch already represents O.G. Anunoby, Gary Trent Jr. and Nick Nurse – 10:12 AM

More on this storyline
There’s also an overall skepticism that any offer will meet the high price for OG Anunoby, much less Pascal Siakam. However, one league non-team-affiliated source did suggest that Gary Trent Jr. might be more likely than even VanVleet to get dealt. -via Action Network / January 29, 2023
Eric Koreen: Anunoby got an MRI today but no results yet. No further updates. -via Twitter @ekoreen / January 28, 2023
