Knicks avoided facing uncomfortable Jalen Brunson questions
NY Post
It’s a reflex to go to the dark place. Follow enough sports in this town — especially the Knicks, Jets, Mets — and you know what I’m talking about.
Murphy’s Law, always applicable.
So for about 45 minutes Sunday in Cleveland, with Jalen Brunson in locker room at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse after suffering an apparent non-contact knee injury, the doomsday questions began percolating:
Should Julius Randle just have shoulder surgery now?
Should the Knicks still re-sign OG Anunoby to a massive deal even if they’re unsure how the roster construction fits in the playoffs?
Why trade for a disgruntled star before next season if Brunson isn’t going to play?

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
