Jalen Brunson (New York Knicks)
Injury suffered Wednesday vs Orlando Magic, diagnosis confirmed Thursday ahead of Friday’s game vs Miami Heat
Jalen Brunson (New York Knicks) has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 right ankle sprain and will miss Friday’s NBA Cup game against the Miami Heat. He is listed day to day, with no firm return date set despite initial fears of a longer setback.
Brunson left late in the loss to Orlando after a hard fall, later seen leaving Madison Square Garden in a walking boot and on crutches. The Knicks, now 4-7 and heavily reliant on his 28.0 points and 6.5 assists per game, must adjust short term while monitoring his daily progress.
