Brunson was initially questionable entering today's matchup against the Suns.
www.si.comHere are the latest updates on Jalen Brunson as of now:
- Brunson has been dealing with a right ankle injury, with reports placing him as day-to-day and missing at least one recent Knicks game due to the sprain. This has impacted his availability for recent fixtures against teams like the Suns and Warriors.[1][2][4]
- Ahead of games in January 2026, teams and analysts noted Brunson's strong scoring pace when healthy (around high-20s PPG) and his role as a primary offensive option for New York, which has kept him in conversations for All-Star consideration.[3][1]
- Injury updates have included him leaving a game early with an ankle issue, with cautious returns planned to protect his health given the Knicks’ playoff positioning.[4][1]
