NEW YORK — Knicks<\/a> guard Jalen Brunson<\/a> injured his right ankle on a drive to the basket with under two minutes remaining in Wednesday night’s 124-107 loss<\/a> to the Orlando Magic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Coach Mike Brown would only say that Brunson turned his ankle but offered no further update.<\/p>\n

Brunson wasn’t available to speak to the media after the game but was seen by multiple reporters leaving Madison Square Garden in a walking boot and using crutches.<\/p>\n

The Knicks trailed 115-99 at the time of Brunson’s injury. He scored 31 points and added 6 assists before taking himself out of the game with 1:52 to play.<\/p>\n

The injury is to the same ankle Brunson sprained last season that forced him to miss 15 games. It was initially termed a two-week injury, but he missed additional time before returning for the playoffs. He seemed to aggravate the ankle injury a couple times in the first round but appeared otherwise unbothered by it during New York’s run to the Eastern Conference finals.<\/p>\n

The loss to the Magic snapped the Knicks’ five-game winning streak and was also their first defeat at home after starting the season 7-0 at MSG.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK — Knicks guard Jalen Brunson injured his right ankle on a drive to the basket with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":281954,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-281953","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-basketball","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-basketball","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
