The Knicks announced on Thursday that a loose bone fragment had been removed from Anunoby’s elbow through a procedure. The team didn’t disclose when the surgery was performed, and coach Tom Thibodeau said he was unaware.
They also mentioned that his evaluation would take place in three weeks.

However, Anunoby has been absent from the last five games due to a condition initially reported as right elbow inflammation by the team. The diagnosis was later updated to bone spur inflammation in the injury report ahead of their Thursday game against Dallas.
