Jalen Brunson‘s game versus the Lakers took an unforeseen twist as an injury caused him to exit the court during overtime. The guard for the New York Knicks was giving a solid performance before he abruptly suffered an injury, causing worry among fans about his condition and when he might be back in NBA play.
In this article, we will delve into details about how Jalen Brunson got injured.
What happened to Jalen Brunson?
During a hard-fought overtime game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night, Jalen Brunson sustained an ankle injury. This happened in the final moments of overtime when he drove towards the basket and accidentally landed on Austin Reaves’ foot, causing his ankle to twist strangely. Despite enduring significant discomfort, Brunson stayed on the court to make two free throws before leaving the game. As a vital player for the New York Knicks, Brunson had amassed an impressive 39 points and 10 assists by that point in the match.
Coach Tom Thibodeau didn’t give a definite report about Brunson’s health condition following the game, as medical assessments were still underway. It appears that he has sprained his ankle, but the exact extent of the injury isn’t known yet. If Brunson is forced to stay out for an extended period, it would be a major disadvantage for New York, since he’s their main scorer and playmaker. At present, they are keeping their fingers crossed for more information about Brunson’s injury. According to Josh Hart, “It’s unfortunate that he got injured. We believe he will be out for a while.” (as reported by The Express Tribune)
Right now, the Knicks are third in the Eastern Conference, boasting a 40-22 record. They’re currently on a challenging five-game journey away from home. Up next on their schedule are matches against the Clippers, Kings, Trail Blazers, and Warriors. As the postseason nears, they’re eagerly hoping for a swift comeback.
