Jalen Brunson Out vs. Warriors with Right Ankle Sprain, Day-to-Day Status Confirmed

Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Warriors due to a right ankle sprain, his second this season. The injury occurred in the first quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Kings, limiting him to just five minutes. Despite the setback, Brunson is considered day-to-day and was seen walking without crutches or a limp post-game, indicating no extended absence is expected. He averages 28.2 points and 6.1 assists, shooting 38.8% from three-point range, and is an expected All-Star starter. Miles McBride, Tyler Kolek, and Jordan Clarkson are anticipated to fill his increased role.
