Knicks’ Jalen Brunson hits game threshold for MVP, All-NBA consideration
NY Post
TORONTO — The NBA established 65 as the key number this season for determining league awards and accolades, and Jalen Brunson officially cleared that games-played hurdle this week.
Brunson played in his 66th of the Knicks’ 72 games this season in Wednesday night’s blowout win over the Raptors, meaning he officially is eligible for MVP and All-NBA consideration.
“Definitely, when you’re available you should be able to play.
It’s always been my mindset. I haven’t really thought any other way,” Brunson, who had 26 points and seven assists, said before the game. “Obviously we’ve been banged up a lot so our availability has been limited.
“I think most guys on this team, if not all, have the mindset that if they’re good to go, they’re going to go as hard as they can and play.”
Asked if being named All-NBA is one of his goals, the first-time All-Star added, “My list of goals is private. I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.”
