"We didn't respond at all [after losing Brunson], Knicks head coach Mike Brown said. I got to give the Kings credit because they took it to us, and we didn't respond in any way, shape, or form. But even before Jalen got hurt, we weren't following the game plan, and I'm not sure why. But we were kind of just out there going through the motions. If you go through the motions in this league, it doesn't matter. You're going to get your behind kicked."
"Brunson was attempting to get around Kings rookie Maxime Raynaud with 7:45 left in the first quarter when he suffered the injury while making his move. He fell and passed the ball before exiting the game. He did not return. The Knicks did not provide an immediate update after the game, but Brunson reportedly left the arena with only a limp no crutches or a walking boot. This right ankle, though, has been a particular issue for the Knicks' captain and superstar. He missed a month last season after spraining it and then did so again in November, which shelved him for two games."
Jalen Brunson rolled his right ankle on Jan. 7, 2026 while attempting to get around Kings rookie Maxime Raynaud with 7:45 left in the first quarter, fell, passed the ball, and did not return. Brunson reportedly left the arena with only a limp and no crutches or walking boot. The right ankle has been a recurring problem; he missed a month last season after a sprain and missed two games in November. The Knicks lost 112-101 to Sacramento and shot 8-for-41 from three without Brunson, while Miles McBride and Karl-Anthony Towns struggled to carry scoring load.
