Jalen Brunson’s first update is positive after ankle injury
New York Knicks fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief. After watching Jalen Brunson limp in the locker room during the first quarter of Wednesday night’s loss to the Sacramento Kings, the initial postgame update offers a glimmer of hope.
According to The Athletic’s James L. Edwards III, Brunson was seen leaving the Golden 1 Center on his own. “Brunson came out of the locker room without a boot and crutches, which is a good sign,” Edwards reported on Ks.
The scene earlier in the evening painted a much darker picture. Just five minutes into the game, Brunson appeared to dislocate his right ankle while driving to the basket. He immediately exited the contest with just four points on the board, leaving the Knicks offense rudderless for the remainder of the night.
