Knicks’ Jalen Brunson undergoes hand surgery before huge contract decision
NY Post
Jalen Brunson’s offseason started with a surgery.
The Knicks’ start point guard underwent surgery on his fractured left hand and will be re-evaluated in six to eight weeks, the team announced Wednesday morning.
Bojan Bogdanovic — who has one year left on his contract — also underwent surgery on his left wrist and will also be re-evaluated in six to eight weeks.
The Knicks previously announced in April that Bogdanovic would be undergoing surgery on his left foot after suffering a season-ending injury to that foot in the first round against the 76ers.
Brunson fractured his hand during Sunday’s Game 7 loss to the Pacers, robbing him of the chance to attempt to lead the Knicks to a comeback win.
He suffered the injury in the third quarter while trying to swipe the ball, but instead connected with Tyrese Hailburton’s leg. Brunson later missed the entire fourth quarter.
