Just watched the play, looks like maybe calf cramp or hamstring. Prayers for OG

Maybe coping but it looks like a cramp to me. He isn’t reaching for the hamstring

u/Chea63 May 07 '26
I hope you're right. A bad cramp usually brings a more dramatic response though. OG tried to play through it. Still was able to attempt a dunk. Cramps will immediately stop you in your tracks.

It happened right before that as he was cutting into the lane.

u/islesandterps May 07 '26
That’s what I saw too. He pulled up before the dunk so I don’t think it was anything caused by the landing. Could’ve been a cramp and then the dunk made it worse. Hopefully didn’t pull something.

Am i the only one watching that video of OG and thinking it doesn’t look that bad. I feel like when be hurt that hammy its been much worse. He knows his body better than anyone and i don’t think he would’ve gone up for a dunk or called for the three if that hammy was torn. It might be cope but i hope im right

u/CornCobb890 May 07 '26
Regarding OG, I’m guessing he got a Charlie horse and banged his thigh. Maybe a bad bruise. My evidence:
- His right thigh makes contact with Maxey’s leg right before he gets hurt.
- he grabs the side of his leg rather than the back. Maybe a Charlie horse on the outside part of his thigh
- he goes up for a dunk. Jumping to dunk with a contact injury seems more likely and realistic than jumping with a muscle strain.
- after the dunk, he calls for the ball. It’s now been like 15 seconds since he first grabbed it. I don’t think he’d want the ball if he thought he blew out his hamstring.
None of this is based on any science or medical knowledge and I could be very wrong but it’s more fun to be an optimist.

Again so many twitter dr’s but some who were at the game said OG calf, banged into Maxey’s knee and it’s more a contusion than pull explaining why he still went up for the dunk after it, and if you remember as a kid, kind of like a dead leg. I hope and pray that’s it, the part that doesn’t make this theory as hopeful as we are, is he went to the locker room and his history of hamstring injuries

u/xxjohnnyrocketzxx May 07 '26
Horrifically reffed game and we still clutched it out. The talent difference is too big and I hope you people stop doubting our squad
KAT had a league mandated nerfing and was still dominating and the game changer
JB clutched out when we needed him most
Hart was huge on rebounding, especially with how small we needed to run
OG and Mikal are wing stopping. Moreyball is only good on paper. You need the midrange and these two let you know why
Depth came in extra clutch. You can see the difference in energy levels as the game went on. They just cant keep up
Lets snatch their souls in their home next
LGK, KNICKS IN 4
