Overview

  • Brunson was upgraded from questionable to active for Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks, with his return confirmed by team listings and Shams Charania.
  • He missed two games following a Grade 1 ankle sprain sustained Nov. 12 against the Magic, during which New York went 1-1.
  • The guard exited that Orlando game late and left Madison Square Garden in a walking boot and on crutches before imaging cleared him of serious damage.
  • Before the injury, Brunson averaged about 28.0 points and 6.5 assists on roughly 46.7% shooting across 11 starts as the Knicks’ lead creator.
  • His comeback comes on the road in his former NBA home, where Mavs coach Jason Kidd praised his development, and Dallas entered the night shorthanded with Cooper Flagg out sick.
