Jalen Brunson as he suffered a concerning injury that left fans and teammates holding their breath. The talented point guard went down hard after a collision with an opposing player, clutching his knee in pain. As he was helped off the court by trainers, the atmosphere in the arena grew tense with worry for his well-being.
The news of Brunson's injury status quickly spread throughout social media and sports news outlets, sparking speculation about the severity of the damage. Fans anxiously awaited updates on his condition, hoping for good news that would allow him to return to the court soon.
Brunson, who averages 27.2 points and had been carrying the Knicks during a rash of key injuries, was hurt on New York's first possession.
Coming off a screen, Brunson rose for a jump shot near the foul line when he appeared to feel pain on liftoff. He shot an air ball and landed before stumbling and dropping to the floor near the 3-point line.
New York’s players, borderline jubilant in the visitor’s locker room postgame after what was arguably their gutsiest win of the season, were also told Brunson’s injury does not appear to be serious.
 Donte DiVincenzo said. “And that’s everything to me. … I don’t worry about Jalen. He’s one of the toughest guys in the league.”
A timetable for Brunson’s injury is still unclear. The Knicks next play Tuesday at home against the Atlanta Hawks. Two consecutive off days follow before they host the Orlando Magic.
