Jalen Brunson Injury Update: Latest on Knicks All-Star status for game vs Dallas Mavericks (February 8)

The New York Knicks host the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. They have listed their first-time All-Star, Jalen Brunson, as questionable against his former team for the second game of the season series.
