"Obviously, you want everyone back healthy, right? You want people to be healthy, be 100%. He's worked really hard. Obviously, people have seen the clips on social media with the work he's put in and everything. It's great to see. He's great for his team, great for the league. Just wish him health."
"You wish good health on everybody. Obviously, you want to beat everybody you play against. But you don't wish any negative on anybody. No matter the rivalry. Or whoever you like or don't like. It doesn't matter. You want everyone healthy and going home in one piece."
The Knicks face mounting challenges as they prepare for a difficult stretch against elite NBA teams. The Boston Celtics, surprisingly leading the Eastern Conference, welcomed back Jayson Tatum after nearly 10 months recovering from a ruptured Achilles suffered during last season's playoff series against the Knicks.

Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson acknowledged the competitive reality while expressing respect for Tatum's recovery and work ethic.
