Knicks' Jalen Brunson Out at Least Another Week

New York Knicks All-Star Jalen Brunson is recovering from a sprained right ankle and will miss at least another week, marking his eighth consecutive game out since the injury sustained on March 6 against the Los Angeles Lakers. He has begun light work on the court, with updates on his status expected in about a week as the regular season approaches its end on April 13. The Knicks have struggled without their captain, going 3-4 during his absence, and are trying to maintain their position as the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference, with their lead over the Indiana Pacers shrinking. Miles McBride has stepped up as the starting point guard in Brunson's absence and has shown he can perform effectively at the NBA level. Knicks fans are eagerly awaiting Brunson's return, as his leadership is crucial for the team's postseason aspirations. The team's next game will provide another opportunity to assess the impact of Brunson's absence on their playoff hopes.
