Jalen Brunson Available For Tuesday's Meeting With Celtics
Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports that New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) will suit up Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. He missed a month of action after spraining his ankle during the March 6 loss to the Lakers. Fortunately, the All-Star was cleared to return for Sunday's win over the Suns, finishing with 15 points and six rebounds. It will likely take him another few games to shake off any residual rust. Despite the upside typically, Brunson may not be the safest option for DFS managers for tonight's contest.
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is expected to play on Tuesday against the Celtics. He missed a month of action after spraining his ankle during the March 6 loss to the Lakers. Fortunately, the All-Star was cleared to return for Sunday's win over the Suns, finishing with 15 points and six rebounds. It will likely take him another game or two to shake off any residual rust. As such, Brunson may not be the safest option for DFS managers despite the obvious upside.
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's matchup with the Suns. He's been sidelined for a month after tweaking his ankle during the March 6 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Miles McBride (groin), Cameron Payne (ankle), and most recently, Delon Wright, had been filling in. However, even though Brunson could see limited action in his first game back from the lengthy layoff, he should handle most of the minutes at the one, leaving little room for involvement from anyone else.
Jalen Brunson Out On Saturday, Expected To Play On Sunday
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Hawks. However, according to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, he's expected to return from his month-long absence on Sunday versus the Suns. Fortunately, Cameron Payne (ankle) is available and will come off the bench, likely meaning significantly less work for Landry Shamet and Tyler Kolek. Delon Wright, averaging 7.5 points, 5.0 assists, and 1.7 steals in six starts this season, will remain with the first five.
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is questionable heading into Saturday's meeting with the Hawks. The All-Star hasn't played in nearly a month because of a sprained ankle. However, Brunson has been practicing of late, with Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reporting that the former Maverick could return on Sunday versus Phoenix if he's not cleared for action against Atlanta. With that in mind, he'll likely see a reduced workload for at least a few games once he's able to suit up. But if Brunson remains out on Saturday, Cameron Payne (ankle), who is also questionable, or Delon Wright should fill in at the one spot.
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) stated his recovery is "going well," adding he's been given the green light to participate in basketball activities. The 28-year-old expects to be ready for the postseason, although he hopes to return before the end of the regular season. Brunson has averaged 26.3 points and 7.4 assists throughout the 2024-25 campaign. Unfortunately, he suffered a sprained ankle nearly a month ago in a loss to the Lakers. While he remains on the shelf, Miles McBride (groin) should stay atop the depth chart. Yet, with McBride and Cameron Payne (ankle) both sidelined, Delon Wright could find himself in the starting lineup, with Landry Shamet and Tyler Kolek coming in for relief.
According to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is no longer in a walking boot. He was also spotted doing some "light shooting." The 28-year-old sprained his right ankle in a meeting with the Lakers on March 6. As a result, it was announced Brunson would miss at least a few weeks. Fortunately, it seems he's moving in the right direction. Still, the Knicks are looking for a championship, so the team won't put him back on the court until he's fully-healthy. While Brunson is on the shelf, Miles McBride, averaging 14.6 points, 4.7 assists, 3.1 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 43.1% shooting from deep in seven starts this season, should continue to roll with the first five. Precious Achiuwa, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart should also see a bump in scoring behind Karl-Anthony Towns.
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) will miss time after suffering a sprained right ankle in Thursday's overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The 28-year-old has had a fantastic 2024-25 campaign, averaging 26.1 points, 7.4 assists, and 3.0 rebounds while shooting 38.8% from behind the arc. With the Knicks gearing up for a deep postseason run, the team certainly won't rush him back, meaning he may be out a little longer. While Brunson is sidelined, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart should all receive more scoring chances. Precious Achiuwa and Miles McBride may also split time in the starting lineup, although both should be more productive without Brunson on the floor.
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (ankle) is ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. Brunson suffered what appeared to be a right ankle sprain during overtime in Thursday's 113-109 loss to the Lakers. He exited the game before it concluded with 1:20 remaining due to the injury. Despite suffering the setback, the 28-year-old posted 39 points, 10 assists, and four rebounds across 41 minutes on the floor. After receiving negative X-rays on his right ankle, Brunson could still miss a couple of games, but it appears he won't be out long-term. Cameron Payne and Miles McBride will likely see expanded roles while the Knicks' star guard is on the shelf.
New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (shoulder) will play on Wednesday against the 76ers. The 28-year-old injured his shoulder in Sunday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks. However, he still felt good enough to end the day with 44 points. As usual, Brunson is a must-start in any fantasy format. But with Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) ruled out, Brunson could surpass his usual fantasy expectations.
