For a team down 0-2 and battling serious playoff adversity, the New York Knicks finally caught a break — no injuries ahead of Game 3. The league’s official injury report lists the Knicks with a clean slate. Yes, that includes Jalen Brunson, who appeared to tweak his ankle in Game 2 but will be good to go for Sunday night’s matchup in Indiana.
That’s a sigh of relief for Knicks fans everywhere. Brunson is not just the heartbeat of this team — he’s now a record-breaker in franchise history, carving his name into the books of one of the NBA’s most iconic organizations. His latest milestone, achieved amidst a frustrating Game 2 loss, stands as a reminder of how crucial he is to the Knicks’ playoff hopes.
Despite Brunson’s brilliance, the Knicks have struggled to contain the Pacers. Game 2 saw them give up 114 points while allowing Pascal Siakam to go off for 39. The fourth-quarter woes continued, and while finger-pointing would be easy, Brunson stressed the need for unity: “Collectively, we have to get it together. That’s really it.”
Now the challenge shifts to Indiana, where the Knicks must bounce back to avoid a 3-0 hole. But at least they’re doing it with a full-strength squad — and their star guard is ready to handle business.
If there’s a time for a turnaround, it’s now. And Jalen Brunson’s healthy presence is exactly the spark New York needs.
