Anunoby declined his player option as a free agent and re-signed with New York to a five-year, $212.5 million deal. His contract got more scrutiny than the four-year max deal Philadelphia gave Paul George. The Knicks were willing to do whatever it took to keep Anunoby in New York, or else the front office wouldn't have traded for him.

Anunoby is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to a left thumb sprain. It's Anunoby's first time on the injury report with the thumb sprain, putting him at risk of missing the first leg of the Knicks' back-to-back set.
