New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby was back in the starting lineup for Friday's 142-105 blowout loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Indiana product was relatively quiet in his return, posting five points and one steal in 27 minutes of action.

Anunoby hadn't played since Feb.1 because of a toe injury. He was cleared for full practice earlier this week and was officially listed as questionable for Friday's clash.

The Knicks went 5-1 during Anunoby's absence.

Anunoby entered Friday's tilt averaging 16.4 points, 4.7 boards, two assists, and 1.4 steals across 49 appearances this season.
