The Knicks Bulletin provides insights into the team’s recent struggles, particularly after losing Jalen Brunson to injury. Coach Tom Thibodeau discusses the challenges of quickly adjusting to this absence while preparing for upcoming games against the Kings. He acknowledges both the defensive strength of their recent opponents and the need for individual players, like Karl-Anthony Towns, to find their rhythm. Thibodeau stresses that replacing Brunson requires a collective effort from the team rather than placing the burden on one individual.
On managing expectations while dealing with injury: 'It's a quick turn-around [since Brunson's injury]. You come in, you have a walkthrough in the ballroom, and then we have to adjust and adapt quickly.'
On team dynamics without key players: 'Everyone has to step up. The thing is, you're not replacing Jalen individually. You're doing that collectively.'
