Due to some questions posed by him, Jalen Brunson nearly gave his head coach a slap.
Heading for the dark is a reflex. If you watch enough sports in this city, particularly the Knicks, Jets, and Mets, you’ll understand what I mean.
Murphy’s Law is always relevant.
Thus, for roughly forty-five minutes When Jalen Brunson was in the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse locker room on Sunday in Cleveland with what appeared to be a non-contact knee injury, the doomsday concerns started to circulate:
Is it time for Julius Randle to have his shoulder operated on?
Even if the Knicks are unsure of how their roster structure will work during the playoffs, should they still offer OG Anunoby a big contract extension?
If Brunson won’t play, why make a deal for a dissatisfied star before the following season?
Given that their contracts expire after the upcoming season, what are the plans for Tom Thibodeau and the front office going forward?
Why do the Cavaliers’ venue speakers constantly bombard listeners with needless loud noises?

The final query is still incredibly common. Thankfully, we can apply the brakes to the initial four. The point guard’s injury—which rendered him limp-legged for the Hawks’ humiliating 116-100 loss on Tuesday—was caused by a knee contact that happened just before the player went down, not by a ripped ligament. Thibodeau said that an unblemished MRI exam supported the diagnosis of a “knee contusion.”
Most of the time, bruises don’t end seasons.
The coach declared on Tuesday that “it’s a lot better than it was.”
The Brunson contusion roller coaster served as a brief but harsh reminder in how unpredictable the situation might be. One day we’re deconstructing the plan and waiting for updates from the Hospital for Special Surgery, and the next there’s hope of a run to the conference finals and a clear route to progress in the summer.

Randle is getting closer to making a comeback, but for now, Brunson is the glue that keeps the whole thing together. Give up and lose hope. This was seen on Tuesday when the Hawks surprised the Knicks by upsetting them early in the game. Trailing by 20 points in the first quarter, the home team was unable to rally since they had amassed enough bricks (36 missed 3-pointers!) to strengthen the home of the third tiny pig.
The Knicks were in terrible form and couldn’t rely on Brunson to keep them from terrible shooting performances by Donte DiVincenzo and Alec Burks, while the Hawks stank and were without Trae Young. Only a few weeks old, the Burks experiment is rapidly coming to an end. Maybe Shake Milton’s arrival together with Brunson’s comeback will force him out of the starting lineup. He has been a glaringly bad influence.
The Knicks are waiting along with a number of other injury-plagued clubs that are vying for third place in the East. Until the conference finals, the objective is to stay away from the seemingly unbeatable Celtics.
The Bucks ought to be less of an issue. They are older and more susceptible despite their strong play following the All-Star break. In terms of fit and championship hopes, the Celtics emerged victorious from the tumultuous trade of Dame Lillard for Julius Holiday.
