It was reported earlier in the week that it could happenAnd Sunday, it will become a reality.
Jalen Brunson should return to the Knicks programming on Sunday when New York welcomes Phoenix, A story reported by Chris Haynes and several writers Knicks.
Earlier in the week, Brunson said he had been authorized for basketball activitiesThe only question on his return was timing. With the Knicks on a consecutive back this weekend – they beat Atlanta on Saturday – the real question was which matches he would play, because it would never be both.
Brunson would be a lock to make an All-NBA team this season, except that he has played in 61 games and must play at least 20 minutes in four others to reach the threshold of 65 games in the league to be eligible for post-season prices. Knicks still have five games, including Sunday. Brunson has an average of 26.3 points per game this season with a real shooting percentage of 60.6%, and he spread 7.4 assists per game.
Unless a very improbable total collapse of the last week of the season, the Knicks will be the seeded n ° 3 in the East and welcome Detroit or Milwaukee in the first round.
