Knicks’ vague OG Anunoby injury designation opens up multiple severity possibilities
NY Post
MIAMI — The new diagnosis for OG Anunoby is vague and “generic,” but on its surface “elbow tendinopathy” shouldn’t be too worrisome, according to two surgeons who spoke to The Post.
After stating Anunoby missed the previous seven games with “injury management,” the Knicks changed the designation Monday to “right elbow tendinopathy.”
The team didn’t specify which tendon.
“It’s just a very generic term. You don’t know if it’s tennis elbow, which would be tendinopathy on the outside of the elbow, you don’t know if it’s tendinopathy in the inside of the elbow, which would be golfer’s elbow,” said Dr. Andrew S. Rokito, chief of the Division of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery at NYU Langone Orthopedics. “It could be the triceps tendon, the biceps tendon. Tendinopathy just means — translated literally — inflammation of the tendon. There’s a lot of tendons around the elbow.”
Tennis elbow is the most common elbow tendinopathy and treated like the rest — with conservative measures like rest, anti-inflammatories, stretching, physical therapy, etc.
If those don’t work, a cortisone or PRP injection could be the next step, the surgeons said.

Former Harvard’s women’s hockey coach, Katey Stone, filed a sex discrimination suit on Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts, claiming that the university forced her out last year over misconduct and hazing allegations — which she claims are false — while also alleging she faced gender bias and unfair pay from the school.
