New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby and Indiana Pacers forward Pascal Siakam won an NBA title together. This time, they will be looking to outplay each other in the second round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs. The reality that he’s no longer playing alongside Siakam is setting in even more for Anunoby since he’s going to face his former Toronto Raptors teammate in the playoffs, with a series against the Pacers coming right up.
New York Knicks’ OG Anunoby Shares True Feelings About Facing Old Teammate in the 2024 NBA Playoffs
Anunoby entered the NBA in 2017 as a first-round selection by the Raptors — just a year after Toronto picked Siakam in the first round of the NBA Draft in 2016. The two were key pieces for the Raps in the team’s NBA title run in 2019 when they took down the Golden State Warriors in the finals. With so much shared experience in the NBA, it is just understandable for Anunoby to have mixed feelings heading into the showdown against Siakam and the Pacers.
Via Zach Braziller of the New York Post:
“Yeah, it’ll be weird,” Anunoby said Saturday. “I never played against him. He’s always been my teammate, so it’ll be weird, but it’ll be cool, I’m sure. He’s looking forward to it, too.”
On this is for sure, though. Anunoby will not let his friendship with Siakam get in the way of his desire to help the Knicks go even deeper in the postseason. Of course, the same can be said of Siakam.
