Jalen Brunson expected to miss games due to injury

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson suffered a right ankle injury during overtime in a 113-109 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. He is expected to miss an extended period as he undergoes medical evaluation. Brunson, who leads the Knicks in scoring and assists, rolled his ankle after landing on a Lakers player’s foot. He managed to make two free throws before leaving the game. The Knicks are currently on a five-game West Coast trip and will face the Clippers next. Brunson's absence comes at a challenging time for the team, which is third in the Eastern Conference.
