Jalen Brunson Injury during Tuesday night’s game, forcing the New York Knicks star to leave early, according to the team. The Jalen Brunson injury occurred in the second half when he appeared to roll his ankle on a drive to the basket and was unable to continue after being evaluated by medical staff.
Brunson went down near the lane and remained on the floor briefly before being helped up by teammates and trainers. He was seen limping as he walked to the locker room, and the Knicks ruled him out for the remainder of the game shortly afterward.
The New York Knicks said Brunson will undergo further medical evaluation to determine the severity of the injury. The team did not immediately announce a diagnosis or recovery timeline.
The Jalen Brunson injury comes at a critical point in the season, as the guard has been a key contributor for New York, leading the team in scoring and handling primary ball-distribution duties. His availability has played a significant role in the Knicks’ recent performances.
Head coach Tom Thibodeau said after the game that the team would wait for test results before making any decisions regarding Brunson’s status, adding that caution would guide the next steps.
The Knicks are expected to provide an update once evaluations are complete. The story is developing.
