Jalen Brunson out several games with ankle sprain

New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson will miss several games due to a sprained right ankle. He was injured during overtime in a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. The team will provide an update on his condition in about two weeks. Brunson's absence will impact the Knicks' playoff positioning. They currently hold the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference but are closely followed by the Milwaukee Bucks and Indiana Pacers. The team will need to adjust its strategy to maintain its standing. Mikal Bridges, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Miles McBride are expected to step up in Brunson's absence. The Knicks will rely on their offensive contributions to navigate the remaining games of the season.
