I would sit him and only play him if the series is 2-2 after these 2 games in Philly

Uhh isn’t grade 1 a 1-3 week injury. Must be different levels of grade 1

So it’s grade 1 and he might play two days later? Wasn’t Curry out 10 days+ with the same injury last year?

Hamstrings are super easy to reaggravate.

I’d imagine he sits both games in Philly. Maybe even game 5 if they’re up 3-1

This is really unfortunate. OG has been an absolute demon in the playoffs.

Philly obviously has injury issues of their own, so I’m not gonna make excuses for the knicks.

It’s just becoming more and more likely that whoever comes out of the East is gonna have some serious flaws.

OG is New York’s Aaron Gordon. On many nights he is the clear 2nd best player, and his health is their biggest barrier to a championship run

If Knicks win game 3 think he won’t play the rest of the series

Sounds like good news but I’m just hoping they aren’t lying to make it seem better than it really is

Saw the day to day designation earlier, this was the best case scenario. Go out next game and see if we can get it done without him, if all goes well just rest him for the series.

Probably the best case scenario considering there is no grade attributed to it at this time. Knicks fans were rightfully sweating for the past 12 plus hours

It didn’t seem anywhere near as bad as the time he got a hamstring injury in 2024 and was immediately on the floor in pain. He even tried to keep playing after it happened. Hope he’s better soon

76ers hit the knicks with the playoff injury virus

He won’t be playing for like a week minimum unless he wants that shit to rip for sure, they likely only play him if Philly climbs back into the series as they risk a bad injury if played too soon

Definition of a playoff riser

Hopefully same recovery as Merrill, questionable today with a hamstring strain from Tuesday

Sit him for the rest of the series unless we’re up against the ropes

thank God 🙏 😇

God like “alright yall letting them get too far” lol sucks for Knicks hopefully OG is good. Rest him next game and try to go up 3-0

This is terrible is was playing so good

Sucks but could be worse. Should still win this series in 5 max

Don’t need him to beat down a trashy filthy team

Rest game 3 no question. And be super cautious game 4.

Is not giving a grade normal? Like is there always a grade or are they hiding it or something?

Damn hamstrings man, they can be such a bitch sometimes

Rest next game, come back for game 4.

The only problem here is Sochan or Robinson need to start. The problem? Their bench is guard heavy, their forwards are either 2nd or 3rd year in the league.

Give me some mo D Ayo

Brutal

I admittedly only started following the NBA post bubble but surely the amount of soft tissue injuries and achilles related injuries the past year or two is not normal right?

Sucks for the Knicks. OG has been huge for them. Hopefully the sixers can capitalize

Damn I hope not even as a Philly fan. Dudes been on a mission this year

I feel I’ve learned way too much about hamstrings and calves against my will in recent years just by watching basketball.

OG so injury prone

Damn, this has to motivate the rest of the starters to close this series out fast, Detroit has home court advantage so I would even sit him for game 1 of ECF. no OG, no chance at a chip

Wolverine Stack!

Good job closing out game 2, 1-1 would have made him and the organization probably overthink if he should rest game 3 or not

Man anything but a hamstring. Like ankle injuries you can tape up and try not to land on it. Hamstring you just have to not do anything and hope it gets better fast

Keep him in the bacta tank until we need him.

He’s not going to play in this series again unless it goes 6-7 games

I really dope we see some sochan or diawara minutes. shamet only works if he’s hitting his threes and he’s been cold lately. Sixers now have life, the real question is what’s going on with Embiid’s ankle and stomach and other body parts?

Wow

It’s over, hammy are the worst

Anne Hathaway needs to fix his hammy real quick!

Is Mitch gonna be back for the next game?

Sit him for the series IMO - we’ll need him playing to not be dead in the water later on. mo diawarra step right up my dude

Id like to see more jeremy sochan. He has length to defend.

He’ll be alright. Just give him a couple games off. We have no reason to fear the 76ers that much.

FML

God is real

Yall are in these comments like they said his leg needs to be amputated. The man was up playing after the injury, rest him a couple games then let’s go. 

“questionable” and “day to day” with a hammy string are not a thing, even a grade 1 is 1-2 weeks and risking heavily pulling it again

I think they’re lying by omission… I think he’s going to be out for weeks.

Karma for the Knicks trying to injure Embiid
