Brunson Sprains Ankle vs. Kings, Walks Out Postgame Without Aid

Knicks guard Jalen Brunson suffered a right ankle sprain in the first quarter of Wednesday's game against the Kings, playing just five minutes and scoring four points before being ruled out. This is the same ankle he sprained last November. Despite the injury, Brunson was seen walking out of the locker room postgame without a boot or crutches, an encouraging sign that he may have avoided a significant injury. Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek are expected to handle point guard duties in his absence. His next opportunity to play is Thursday at Golden State.
