"Brunson, who will be evaluated daily moving forward, suffered the injury on a drive to the basket with under two minutes remaining in Wednesday night's 124-107 loss to the Orlando Magic. Postgame, coach Mike Brown said only that Brunson turned his ankle but offered no further update. Brunson wasn't available to speak to the media but was seen by multiple reporters leaving Madison Square Garden in a walking boot and using crutches."
"The injury is to the same ankle Brunson sprained last season that forced him to miss 15 games. It was initially termed a two-week injury, but he missed additional time before returning for the playoffs. He seemed to aggravate the ankle injury a couple of times in the first round but appeared otherwise unbothered by it during New York's run to the Eastern Conference finals."
Jalen Brunson sustained a Grade 1 right ankle sprain and will miss Friday's game against the Miami Heat, with daily evaluations planned. The injury occurred on a drive with under two minutes remaining in Wednesday's 124-107 loss to the Orlando Magic, after Brunson had scored 31 points and dished six assists. Coach Mike Brown confirmed only that Brunson turned his ankle. Brunson was seen leaving Madison Square Garden in a walking boot and using crutches. The sprain affects the same ankle injured last season that previously cost him 15 games. The loss ended the Knicks' five-game win streak and first home defeat.
