Jalen Brunson’s right ankle twisted pretty bad coming down from that play at the rim. His foot landed on Austin Reaves’ foot. He is limping towards the Knicks’ bench, trying to walk it off. – 12:47 AM

More on this storyline

Stefan Bondy: Not a surprise given how that ankle turn looked: Jalen Brunson has been ruled out of tonight’s game against the Clippers, league sources said. It will be Brunson’s second DNP of the season and first since Jan. 1. -via Twitter @SBondyNYDN / March 7, 2025

Chris Haynes: There’s optimism New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson only sustained a sprained ankle, sources tell me. -via Twitter @ChrisBHaynes / March 7, 2025

Remaining at the free-throw line allowed him to reenter if somehow he could have, but it also was a reflection that even walking to the other end of the floor to the bench would have been an arduous journey. “He’s being examined,” Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said. “I haven’t spoken with him. He was back with the medical people. “His mental toughness is through the roof. It doesn’t surprise me. The way he played the whole game, they were loaded up on him the whole game.” -via Newsday / March 7, 2025
