Knicks’ Jalen Brunson laughs off ‘embarrassing’ ankle injury
NY Post
Now that he’s back, Jalen Brunson can laugh about it.
He missed two games with a right ankle sprain, returning on Monday for the Knicks loss to the Mavericks at Madison Square Garden.
The manner in which he suffered the sprain — against the Kings in Sacramento last week — represents one of the few lowlights of his career.
“It’s as embarrassing to say versus watching,” Brunson said after practice on Tuesday. “Just tripping over my own two damn [feet], or one foot, whatever. It’s that simple.”
Josh Hart, who also missed time with a right ankle sprain and says he is not yet at 100 percent, poked fun at his teammate.
“It just bodes to the unathletic claims for him,” Hart said on Tuesday. “I sprained my ankle because I landed on somebody. He was out two games because he tripped over himself.”

The Blue Jays were willing to go to 10 years for free-agent outfielder Kyle Tucker, but they fell far short on the average annual value that he ultimately received from the Dodgers.
