Jalen Brunson to miss at least two weeks injured
New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson will miss at least two weeks due to a sprained right ankle. He was injured during overtime in a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Brunson's absence will affect the team's playoff positioning. Brunson has been a key player, averaging 26.7 points and 7.4 assists this season. The Knicks currently hold the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference but face pressure to maintain their position as they navigate the final stretch of the season. With Brunson out, players like Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns will need to step up offensively. Miles McBride is expected to take on a larger role at point guard, while the team seeks to adapt to his absence.
