Jalen Brunson News, Rumors, Updates - New York Knicks

Scores 27 points in loss Brunson amassed 27 points (7-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 12-12 FT), one rebound and five assists in 33 minutes during Friday's 126-101 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Brunson posted a solid scoring line, but he didn't contribute much in other categories as the Knicks suffered a heavy 25-point loss. The star floor general at least reached the 22-point mark for the fourth time over his last five outings, but his efficiency woes are beginning to look concerning. Over that five-game stretch, Brunson is shooting just 18.8 percent from three-point range while averaging 2.2 turnovers per game.

Struggles from field, fouls out Brunson fouled out of Monday's 103-94 loss to Orlando after recording 24 points (8-21 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes.

Impact The Magic focused on slowing Brunson down due to the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), which resulted in a poor shooting display for the star floor general. Despite the shooting woes, Brunson still had a solid showing as a scorer, but it was based on his volume and not his efficiency. Brunson has scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven contests, and fantasy managers can expect an uptick on his usage rate if Towns is forced to miss more time.

Impact As expected, Brunson will make his third consecutive appearance after landing on the injury report due to right calf tightness.

Will play against Chicago Brunson (calf) has been cleared to play against the Bulls on Saturday, Stefan Bondy of The New York Postreports.

Impact As expected, Brunson will suit up and play against the Bulls.

Impact Brunson has been dealing with a calf injury lately, but it hasn't resulted in him missing more than one game so far. It appears it won't prevent him from playing against Chicago on Saturday. The veteran guard is coming off a loss to the Thunder, finishing with 22 points, nine assists, three rebounds and a steal in 40 minutes.

Near double-double vs. OKC Brunson finished Friday's 117-107 loss to the Thunder with 22 points (9-23 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 40 minutes.

Impact Brunson returned Friday from a one-game absence due to a calf injury. He was one of three Knicks players to score 20 points or more in Friday's loss and finished as the team's second-leading scorer behind Mikal Bridges (24). Brunson led New York with nine assists, and he was one dime shy from registering his eighth double-double of the regular season. He's tallied exactly nine assists in four of his last five outings, and since Dec. 1 he has averaged 24.2 points, 7.6 assists and 2.9 rebounds over 35.2 minutes per game.

Added to injury report Brunson is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to right calf tightness.

Impact Brunson continues to be added to the team's injury report with a right calf injury, though it hasn't really impacted his production or playing time of late. Even so, the team will likely monitor the star point guard closely leading up to tipoff before declaring him available to play.

Logs 36 minutes despite injury Brunson closed Monday's 126-106 victory over Washington with 18 points (6-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 36 minutes.

Impact Despite continuing to deal with a calf injury, Brunson once again logged heavy minutes in what was a relatively easy win. While significant playing time typically results in significant production, there has to be some cause for concern when it comes to the risk of making things worse. His status heading into games over the coming weeks is something to monitor closely.
