New York Knicks star point guard Jalen Brunson is undergoing surgery on Tuesday to repair a left wrist injury sustained during the team's championship run.
According to reports, Brunson is expected to rehab for at least two months following the procedure and is projected to make a full recovery.
The injury did not prevent Brunson from leading the Knicks to their first NBA championship in 53 years. Playing through the wrist issue, the NBA Finals MVP averaged 32.6 points, 4.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals in five games as New York defeated the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals.
Key Facts

Outlook
While the exact nature of Brunson's wrist injury has not been disclosed, the decision to undergo surgery shortly after the season suggests the Knicks prioritized addressing the issue early in the offseason. A two-month recovery timeline should provide ample time for rehabilitation before training camp and the start of the 2026-27 season.
