New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson suffered a knee injury during a game, initially causing concern among fans and teammates. The injury occurred without contact, and Brunson had to be helped off the floor. Following the incident, Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau revealed that Brunson sustained a knee contusion. Fortunately, subsequent medical evaluations, including X-rays and an MRI, yielded positive results, showing no serious damage. Thibodeau confirmed the X-rays were negative and the MRI came back clean, indicating the injury might not be as severe as initially feared. Despite the good news, Brunson was ruled out for the Knicks' next game against the Hawks, with no specific timetable provided for his return.

Jalen Brunson ... damn it. Hoping it was just a tweak or a scare or something.
