Knicks crushed by lowly Kings as Jalen Brunson exits with ankle injury in brutal night
NY Post
SACRAMENTO — Jalen Brunson’s Achilles heel is his right ankle.
The Knicks point guard came up limp with 7:45 left in the first quarter of Wednesday’s 112-101 defeat to the Kings when he twisted his right ankle while dribbling near the 3-point line.
There was no contact on the play — Brunson just tried to plant his foot and it turned, underscoring the instability of the tendon.
Brunson hobbled through a couple of more possessions before being subbed out, then retreated to the locker room for the remainder. He finished with five points, his lowest in almost two years.
In a potential positive sign, Brunson left the arena without crutches or a walking boot, only a small limp. The Knicks said they will provide an update before they face the Warriors on Thursday.
It’s the same right ankle that sent Brunson into a month of recovery last season because of a sprain. Brunson sprained it again in November of this season and missed two games.
