Knicks' Brunson Suffers Knee Contusion in Scary Fall
X-Rays Negative, but Injury Status Remains Uncertain
What is Jalen Brunson's Injury?
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson has been diagnosed with a left knee contusion after a fall during the team's 107-98 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday.
Brunson, who averages 27.2 points per game, sustained the injury in the first minute of the game while attempting a jump shot over Cavaliers forward Isaac Okoro. He landed awkwardly and immediately went down in pain.
The Knicks announced that X-rays on Brunson's knee came back negative, but the severity of the injury and his availability for future games remains uncertain.
Head coach Tom Thibodeau said after the game that Brunson is "day-to-day" and that the team will monitor his progress. Brunson himself expressed optimism, saying that he is "feeling better" and hopes to return to action soon.
The Knicks are off on Monday and will return to action on Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. It remains to be seen whether Brunson will be able to play in that game.
Brunson has been a key player for the Knicks this season, leading the team in scoring and assists. His injury is a significant blow to the team, which has struggled to find consistency this season.
The Knicks are hopeful that Brunson will be able to return to action soon, but they will likely be cautious with their star point guard.
