See the latest injury update for Knicks star Jalen Brunson, whose status is in question for Wednesday’s game vs. the Grizzlies.
On Wednesday night, the New York Knicks take on the Memphis Grizzlies in a matchup that should be something of a layup against a rebuilding squad. However, Jalen Brunson may not be available due to injury.
Brunson has been listed as questionable on the injury report due to ankle soreness. It’s worth noting this game is the second leg of a back-to-back, so it wouldn’t be shocking to see him sit with the playoffs rapidly approaching.
Deuce McBride and Mitchell Robinson are also both out for this game tonight.
Brunson averages 26.1 points and 6.7 assists per game this season, but his shooting splits are down ever-so slightly compared to the last couple of years at 46.5% overall and 37.1% from deep. Still, he’s leading this Knicks roster in scoring and playmaking as he remains the foundational engine of this playoff-bound roster.
The Knicks are listed as a 14.5-point road favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook tonight against the Grizzlies.
New York is 48-28 overall and sits third in the Eastern Conference with a slim one-game lead on that seed. The Cleveland Cavaliers loom close behind, so every win counts.
