Jalen Brunson Exits With Right Ankle Injury in Knicks’ Loss to Kings

The team offered no timetable after the early exit, with further evaluation pending.

Overview

  • Brunson rolled his right ankle on a non-contact move about five minutes into the first quarter and headed to the locker room.
  • He had four points in five minutes and, after being listed questionable, was ruled out at halftime.
  • New York gave no postgame diagnosis or return timeline, and reporters observed Brunson leaving without a walking boot or crutches.
  • The Knicks fell 112-101 in Sacramento and went 8-for-41 from three as their offense struggled without their lead guard.
  • It is the same ankle that sidelined him for two games in November and nearly a month last season, with further evaluation expected before Friday’s game at Golden State.
