New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby on Tuesday scored arguably the most hardcore hoop of the season during his team’s 128-113 win over the Dallas Mavericks. Anunoby took a blow to the face from Mavericks center Kai Jones midway through the third quarter at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, N.Y. As play went on, a stream of blood started to trickle down from Anunoby’s nose. The Knicks’ broadcast noticed pointed it out. But instead of asking Knicks trainers to take a look at him, Anunoby just wiped the blood off and kept playing. After bloodying his jersey, Anunoby caught a pass in the corner and drained a three.

Law Murray: Tyronn Lue said today that the hope is for Mo Bamba (knee) to be ready opening night. But with Bamba out, “Kai is our backup” That means that if Kai Jones is going to be on the team, he will either be on a two-way contract or the Clippers need to open up a roster spot somehow.
