The article discusses the current injury situation of the New York Knicks, focusing on point guards Jalen Brunson and McBride. Brunson is recovering from a sprained ankle and is showing promising signs of progress in his rehab, though he has yet to practice. Coach Tom Thibodeau emphasizes the team's cautious approach, wanting to ensure Brunson is fully healthy before his return. Meanwhile, McBride has been ruled out due to a groin injury, creating uncertainty about his timetable for recovery and raising concerns about potential extended absence.
Brunson has reportedly been progressing faster than anticipated. He has spent a lot of time shooting, working in the pool, and on the bike, and his conditioning is at a really good spot.
The Knicks have made it clear that they have no intentions of bringing him back earlier than necessary and want to make sure that he is 100% before returning.
The fact that he was ruled out last night, more than 24 hours before tonight's game, is an ominous sign that he could potentially miss more time than some had initially expected.
Thibodeau said Bunson's strong conditioning makes him optimistic about his recovery but emphasized the need for caution in returning him to full play.
