Knicks Star Jalen Brunson Suffers Knee Contusion in Game Against Cavaliers
Injury Update: Brunson Expected to Recover Quickly
All-Star guard Jalen Brunson left Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a left knee injury that initially raised concerns. However, X-rays came back negative, and Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau has confirmed that Brunson is dealing with a knee contusion. According to Thibodeau, Brunson is expected to make a quick recovery.
Knee Injury Concerns Averted
Brunson left the game late in the fourth quarter after coming off a screen near the foul line. He suddenly crumpled to the floor without any contact with an opponent. Medical staff immediately attended to Brunson, and he was assisted off the court. The Knicks star underwent X-rays, which ruled out any serious injury. Thibodeau later confirmed that Brunson is dealing with a knee contusion, a bruise on the bone. The injury is not expected to keep Brunson out of action for an extended period of time. Brunson has been a key player for the Knicks this season, averaging 23.2 points per game. His absence would have been a significant blow to the team's playoff hopes. However, with the injury being minor, Brunson is expected to return to the lineup soon.
