Jalen Brunson, a key player for the New York Knicks, sustained an ankle injury during a game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Despite the injury, Brunson was able to walk out of the arena on his own, and the injury is not believed to be serious. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau stated that Brunson and teammate Josh Hart were being evaluated by the medical team, with no further details on their conditions. The Knicks managed a 123-113 victory over the Grizzlies, and the team's 'next man up' mentality was highlighted by Thibodeau and echoed by teammates, including Donte DiVincenzo who commented on Brunson's toughness, saying, 'He's one of the toughest guys in the league, so I'm not worried.'
