Jalen Brunson Named Eastern Conference Player of the Week

Jalen Brunson earned Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors after a dominant four-game stretch where he averaged 28.8 points and 4.5 assists, shooting 40.7% from three-point range, leading the Knicks to a 4-0 record. Coach Mike Brown believes Brunson deserves MVP consideration. Brunson also expressed no surprise at former teammate Immanuel Quickley's success with the Raptors, praising his work ethic. The two are set to face each other again next week in the NBA Cup Quarterfinals.
