Knicks' Jalen Brunson Expected to Return Against Suns

Jalen Brunson is set to return for the New York Knicks after a month-long absence due to a sprained ankle, as the team prepares for crucial final games in the 2024-25 regular season. New York has performed admirably in his absence, going 9-6, and recently secured a victory over the Atlanta Hawks, which helped solidify their position for the playoffs. The Knicks are currently poised to claim the third seed in the Eastern Conference, with a potential first-round matchup against either Detroit or Milwaukee. Coach Tom Thibodeau emphasized the importance of teamwork and adaptability as players like OG Anunoby have stepped up during Brunson's absence. As Brunson re-integrates back into the lineup, there are discussions about how the team's offensive dynamics will adjust. The Knicks aim to maintain their momentum with Brunson's return as they look ahead to the postseason.
