Overview
- Brunson’s injury came in the final two minutes of a 124-107 loss to the Magic that snapped a five-game win streak and marked the Knicks’ first home defeat of the season.
- He was seen leaving Madison Square Garden in a walking boot and on crutches, according to multiple reporters on site.
- The sprain is to the same right ankle that cost him 15 games last season, heightening concern about short-term availability.
