New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby has had a post-surgical flare-up in his right elbow and is expected to miss more than just Monday night's game against the Golden State Warriors, sources told ESPN. Anunoby -- who returned for three games following a Feb. 8 procedure to remove a loose particle from his shooting elbow -- will need for the elbow to calm down before he can return to the lineup, sources said. The Knicks are 15-2 with him in the lineup since Jan. 1 and 8-10 with him sidelined. Anunoby's plus-297 plus-minus since joining the Knicks is third best in the NBA in that span, according to ESPN Stats & Information research.
