Jalen Brunson Health, Injury Updates & History

Jalen Brunson has seen some ankle injuries this season but will be a full go for Game 1 vs Atlanta.

Brunson sat out Thursday's loss to the Warriors after spraining his right ankle five minutes into Wednesday's loss in Sacramento. The Knicks lost three of four games during their recent road trip but return home Saturday. If Brunson is sidelined for a second straight game, Miles McBride would likely draw another start. He is listed as questionable for Saturday's game vs the Suns.

Was spotted leaving MSG in a walking boot and crutches after spraining his right ankle in the final minutes of the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game vs Orlando, Brunson has a history of ankle injuries, particularly his right ankle as that is the one he injured in the playoffs last season. The severity of the sprain isn't known yet, but he will be monitored

Recently missed 15 consecutive games with a sprained right ankle sustained vs the Lakers on March 6th, he’s since returned for three games at his regular workload and hasn’t lost any production, however he is listed as questionable in all games to end the regular season, the Knicks haven’t locked up the #3 seed and could drop to as low as fifth so they might not be in a position to rest starters yet

Has been participating in on-court work in practice and will have his status updated in one more week as he's been recovering from a sprained right ankle

Exited Thursday's game against the Lakers with a sprained right ankle, x-rays were negative and he is expected to miss about two weeks.

Exited Thursday's game vs the Lakers with a sprained right ankle in overtime, he limped off and was barely able to put any weight on it, the Knicks have a back-to-back tomorrow as they kick off a West Coast road trip, presumably, Brunson will miss all four of those road games

Fractured his left (shooting) hand in the third quarter of Game 7 against the Pacers. Briefly returned before exiting the game. Will make a full recovery in the offseason.

Questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers due to right foot soreness after missing the 2Q in Game 2 then returning to play 32 minutes. Likely to play through.

Missed the entire 2Q due to what the team is reporting as a sore right foot, by video analysis our panel of Pro Basketball Docs see nothing definitive besides Brunson clearly favoring his right foot, will wait and see on his availability in second half but do not see anything that should keep him out of game
