Since then, the team has listed the star guard as day-to-day. On Monday, the Knicks will take on the Dallas Mavericks, Brunson's former team. The team is looking to snap their losing skid against the 17-26 Mavericks team. However, the team received an unfortunate update ahead of their bout, concerning their star guard.

The New York Knicks received injury updates on Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart after the recent loss to the Phoenix Suns.

Jalen Brunson has been upgraded on the New York Knicks' injury report ahead of the Phoenix Suns matchup on Saturday.

The Knicks were without Jalen Brunson (ankle injury) for a second consecutive game in Saturday's 106-99 home loss to the Phoenix Suns.

Can a team win a championship with a small, less-athletic guard — like the Knicks with Jalen Brunson — as their best player?
