Knicks' Jalen Brunson Progressing in Recovery, Return Still Uncertain

The All-Star guard continues controlled court work with his status to be reassessed in a week, as the Knicks balance his health and playoff readiness.

Jalen Brunson has been sidelined since March 6, 2025, due to a severe right ankle sprain sustained during a game against the Lakers.
The Knicks announced that Brunson has begun controlled court work, and his status will be updated in approximately one week.
Head coach Tom Thibodeau emphasized prioritizing Brunson's full recovery over a rushed return, stating the focus is on his rehab progress.
