Jalen Brunson Cleared For Camp Amid ESPN Ranking Debate

New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson has confirmed he is fully cleared for training camp following offseason left wrist surgery after playing through a tendon injury during their championship run, earning Finals MVP with 28.4 PPG. Meanwhile, ESPN analytics guru Dean Oliver rated Brunson around No. 25 rather than No. 6, citing New York media bias and defensive metrics. Brunson has averaged at least 26 PPG over his last three seasons and will host Saturday Night Live's season opener.
