Any morsel of progress surrounding the Knicks’ bevy of injured players is newsworthy, but the word on OG Anunoby out of practice on Thursday signals that he’s likely the closest to returning of the team’s sidelined starting frontcourt.

Anunoby, who hasn’t played since late January due to an elbow injury that required cleanup surgery, was cleared for contact and resumed scrimmaging with the Knicks on Thursday in Tarrytown.

“Yeah, he’s doing some 5-on-5 work. He’s doing well overall,” Tom Thibodeau revealed after practice. “It’s day to day, we’ll see where he is. He’s making good progress, but he’s got to be cleared first to fully play [in games].”

The Knicks had won 12 of the 14 games the two-way forward had appeared in after he was acquired from the Raptors on Dec. 30.

But Thibodeau’s team has gone 7-9 since Anunoby and three-time All-Star Julius Randle (dislocated shoulder) were injured in the same game on Jan. 27 against the Heat, joining starting center Mitchell Robinson (December ankle surgery) on the injured list.

They also have dropped eight of their past 11 games entering Friday’s home game against the Magic, playing the last two without All-Star point guard Jalen Brunson, who missed all but 47 seconds of action in the pair of games with a left-knee contusion.

Randle and Robinson also are progressing with the hope of returning during the regular season, with Randle taking light contact in recent days and Robinson cleared to resume running and jumping.

Thibodeau said Brunson participated in “most of practice,” adding “we’ll see where is tomorrow” when asked if the point guard would play against the Magic.
