Jalen Brunson already has landed on the Knicks’ injury report a couple of times this season, albeit without missing a game.
So you know he will do everything he can to be on the court in what amounts to a homecoming for him Tuesday night in Dallas.on Christmas with under five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter with what the team is calling a hip injury. Brunson, who came back to the bench a few minutes later but did not reenter the game, has been listed as questionable for Tuesday’s opener of a three-game Texas trip against the Mavericks, his former team.
He signed a four-year deal with the Knicks in July as a free agent after spending his first four NBA seasons with the Mavericks, who presently are in the No. 8 playoff position in the Western Conference at 18-16. The Knicks own the same overall record, but they enter the game in the sixth spot in the Eastern Conference standings.
“We’re just not doing enough to win right now, and that’s what we have to fix,” Thibodeau said after Sunday’s game. “If we get [defensive] stops, and we can get it into the open floor, that’s usually when we’re at our best.” Last season, Randle and Barrett became the first two Knicks to average at least 20 points apiece since Bill Cartwright and Ray Williams in 1979-80. Brunson is posting a career-high 20.2 points and a team-best 6.2 assists against 2.0 turnovers per appearance.
