Jalen Brunson to miss at least two weeks injured

New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson will miss at least two weeks due to a right ankle sprain. He sustained the injury during a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, stepping awkwardly on another player's foot. Brunson's absence is significant as he is the team's leading scorer and a key playmaker. The Knicks currently sit third in the Eastern Conference and will need to adjust their lineup for at least seven upcoming games. The Knicks face a relatively easier schedule ahead, with only three opponents having winning records. However, they have a slim lead over the Milwaukee Bucks, who are performing well and could challenge for the third spot in the standings.
