In a significant NBA matchup, the New York Knicks secured a victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers with a score of 107-98, despite losing All-Star guard Jalen Brunson to a knee injury in the first minute of the game. Josh Hart contributed a triple-double, with 13 PTS, 19 REB, 10 AST, and Donte DiVincenzo scored 28 points, helping the Knicks overcome the setback. Brunson's injury was later diagnosed as a knee contusion, with X-rays returning negative, indicating no serious damage. The Knicks' performance without Brunson was notable, as they managed to win against the Cavaliers, showcasing their resilience and depth. Following the injury, Brunson was listed as questionable for subsequent games but made a quick return to the lineup against the Orlando Magic, missing only one game. His comeback was impactful, scoring 17 points in the first half of the game against the Magic, demonstrating his importance to the team. However, the Knicks faced a setback without Brunson, losing to the Hawks 116-100, but rebounded with a strong performance against the Magic, leading 55-39 at halftime.
Knicks 80, Magic 54 after three quarters. New York is 13 of 23 behind the arc.
