In a much-awaited comeback, Jalen Brunson reclaimed his spot in the New York Knicks' starting lineup on Sunday, returning from a month-long absence due to a right ankle sprain. The All-Star point guard's presence was sorely missed as the Knicks navigated through a challenging stretch without him, managing to maintain their position in third place in the Eastern Conference with a solid 9-6 record in his absence. With the return of backup point guard Miles McBride from a groin injury as well, the Knicks look to be in top form heading into the final week of the regular season, poised to secure their second consecutive 50-win season with just one more victory.
Despite the setback of Brunson's injury, the Knicks have demonstrated resilience and depth, showcasing their ability to adapt and compete at a high level. With the team now back at full strength, Knicks fans can look forward to seeing their dynamic duo of Brunson and McBride back in action, ready to make a strong push towards the playoffs. As the regular season winds down, all eyes will be on the Knicks as they aim to finish strong and build momentum for a successful postseason campaign.
