Brunson produced another big-stage masterclass in the Cup final, controlling the game offensively and punishing San Antonio’s guards in isolation and pick-and-roll. His poise, shot creation and decision-making under pressure confirmed him as the tournament’s standout performer and earned him the NBA Cup MVP award. Logging heavy minutes and consistently tilting the floor in New York’s favour, Brunson outplayed a deep Spurs backcourt while still sharing credit with role players who delivered crucial contributions. His performance reinforced his status among the league’s elite offensive guards and showcased the leadership that now defines this Knicks era in knockout basketball.

Stephon Castle is expected to miss two to three weeks after an MRI showed a left hip flexor strain, adding another significant absence to a San Antonio Spurs team that will already be without Victor Wembanyama and fellow guard Jordan McLaughlin for at least the next few weeks. Castle left at half time against Sacramento and now joins Wembanyama, who has a left calf strain, and McLaughlin, who strained his right hamstring in practice, leaving a 9-4 Spurs team that opened 5-0 to navigate a tricky stretch without the previous two Rookie of the Year winners in uniform.

Wembanyama said he can be the league’s future standard bearer and returned in preseason with playmaking emphasis after last season’s shoulder clot. In limited minutes he stuffed the box score while initiating offense.
San Antonio are building around his versatility with rookie guard Dylan Harper, Stephon Castle, and added size to diversify lineups. The plan stresses connectivity and creation gravity over isolation to accelerate a playoff push.
