Jalen Brunson is expected to play tonight for the New York Knicks against the Brooklyn Nets. Brunson has not missed a game since March 5 when he was recovering from a minor left knee injury. He has only missed five games for the Knicks this season and continues to carry the team every game.
According to the latest Knicks injury report, the Knicks have only three players who won't be suiting up on Saturday afternoon. Julius Randle, OG Anunoby and Mitchell Robinson are all listed as out and will miss the game against Brooklyn at Madison Square Garden.
Randle has not played since Jan. 27, while Anunoby recently aggravated his elbow injury and will wait for further evaluation before getting cleared. Robinson continues to recover from ankle surgery and has been out of action since December.

What happened to Jalen Brunson?
Jalen Brunson's back is probably killing him since late January when Julius Randle went down with a shoulder injury. Brunson has been carrying the New York Knicks to one of the best records in the Eastern Conference.
However, all jokes aside, Brunson has only missed five games this season. He most recently missed one game due to a minor knee injury earlier this month.
There were concerns that he could have suffered a devastating injury to his right knee, but it turned out to be just a nerve issue and was cleared to return after just a one-game absence.
