OG Anunoby scored 11 points in his return to the starting lineup Friday night, helping the New York Knicks to roll to a 146-112 win over the Utah Jazz at Madison Square Garden.
Anunoby, who played 23 minutes against the Jazz, missed nine games after straining his left hamstring Nov. 14 against the Miami Heat. The Knicks went 6-3 in his absence.
Anunoby was upgraded to questionable early Friday and went through warmups before a final decision was made.
Anunoby entered Friday shooting 39% from 3-point range and averaged 15.8 points and 5.6 rebounds in 31 minutes.
