Knicks avoided facing uncomfortable Jalen Brunson questions
NY Post

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?
The Ravens are likely already at a disadvantage heading into Saturday.
