New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson is reportedly on the verge of returning from a right ankle sprain. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau told reporters that Brunson had been "cleared for basketball activities" before Wednesday's 124-105 loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers,

Brunson joined the Knicks in 2022 after spending the first four years of his career with the Dallas Mavericks. The lefty is averaging 26.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists in 206 games with New York. The Knicks certainly need a healthy Brunson to make a deep run in the 2025 playoffs.
