Jalen Brunson Suffers Knee Contusion

During the Knicks-Cavaliers game, fans saw Jalen Brunson crash to the floor, clutching his knee. He clearly couldn’t stand without limping or putting any weight on his leg, so he was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Brunson only played one minute and took one shot before being shut down by Tom Thibodeau. There is some silver lining: it isn’t as serious an injury as it looked live.

The Knicks have revealed that the superstar player only suffered a left knee contusion. The x-rays did return negative. However, they didn’t release further information on when he can play again.

New York has been injury-ridden this entire season; Mitchell Robinson, OG Anunoby, and Julius Randle are all out. The 27-year-old can now be added to this list.

Jalen Brunson, De’Aaron Fox Named NBA Players Of Week 4

The NBA has announced their winners for week 4 of the NBA season, and these two players deserve it for the performances they put on.

De’Aaron Fox balled out averaging 32.3 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.8 rebounds. Not a bad way to get back into the flow of the season after some time off due to injury.

Jalen Brunson, while not coming back from injury, continues to show the world why New York went after him and left Dallas. He averaged 28.5 points and 6.5 assists last week.

The Mavericks didn’t even get a chance to offer Brunson a deal, despite them having a chance when he was on the team, as Brunson made up his mind. Rumors have speculated into reports now with Shams reporting that Jalen Brunson will sign with the Knicks on a four-year deal.

The contract is set for four-years, near $110 million dollars. Something the Mavericks were not giving him early on before he decided to end his time with the team.

This comes after reports surfaced that he cancelled his scheduled meeting with Dallas for tonight; at that point, all the signs were pointing towards Brunson heading to New York.

New York has been making trades, clearing cap space, and adjusting to make room for the former Maverick. Brunson is coming off an incredible season and postseason that sent him to being one of the top guys that postseason before their exit.

We will report this officially when Free Agency opens at 6 EST.
