Jalen Brunson Returns to Knicks Lineup after Injury

Jalen Brunson’s return to the New York Knicks’ lineup after missing 15 games with a sprained right ankle has been a significant boost to the team. He made his comeback on April 6, 2025, against the Phoenix Suns, scoring 15 points and dishing out 6 assists in 34 minutes. The Knicks won the game 112-98.

Brunson initially injured his ankle on March 31, 2025, during an overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. He rolled his ankle after landing on Austin Reaves’ foot and was unable to continue playing. The Knicks later announced that Brunson had been diagnosed with a sprained right ankle and would be reevaluated in two weeks.

Brunson’s absence was felt by the Knicks, who struggled to find consistency without their star point guard. His return has provided a much-needed boost to the team’s offense, and his leadership has been instrumental in their recent wins. With Brunson back in the lineup, the Knicks have looked more cohesive and confident on the court.

In his return game, Brunson showed no signs of rust, scoring 15 points and dishing out 6 assists. His performance was a key factor in the Knicks’ 112-98 win over the Phoenix Suns. Brunson’s stats in the game were:
– Points: 15
– Assists: 6
– Minutes Played: 34
– Field Goal Percentage: 3/9
– 3-Point Percentage: 1/4
– Free Throw Percentage: 8/10

The Knicks have a tough road ahead, with upcoming games against the Boston Celtics, Detroit Pistons, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Brooklyn Nets. With Brunson back in the lineup, they’ll look to continue their winning streak and secure a strong playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
