Report: Knicks' Anunoby set to return Tuesday after 18-game absence

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby is expected to play Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers after missing 18 games, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Anunoby's been out since undergoing surgery to remove a loose bone in his elbow in early February. New York has listed Anunoby as questionable for Tuesday's contest.

Anunoby had been excellent for the Knicks since being acquired from the Toronto Raptors in December. New York has won 12 out of 14 games that have featured a healthy Anunoby. The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 15.6 points and 4.6 rebounds while knocking down 39.1% of his 3-pointers since joining the Knicks.

New York is still missing All-Star forward Julius Randle, who's been out since Jan. 29 with a shoulder injury.

The Knicks are fourth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 37-27.
