OG Anunoby stole the show in Jalen Brunson's return, scoring 32 points against the Suns. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau spoke about how he did it.

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby believes that he's worthy of 2025 Defensive Player of the Year recognition. "I think I should be on First Team All-Defense. I think I should win Defensive Player of the Year,” Anunoby said, per Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News. “I’ve always felt that way."

OG Anunoby scored 19 of his 32 points in a perfect third quarter to keep up the best scoring stretch of his career, even with Jalen Brunson returning to New York’s lineup, as the Knicks beat the Phoenix Suns 112-98 on Sunday night in the NBA.
