The All-Star point guard was hurt when he was dribbling and his ankle appeared to give out and he fell to the court. Brunson went to the locker room and the Knicks said he was questionable to return before later ruling him out for the second half.
Brunson had four points in five minutes.
Brunson missed two games with a sprained right ankle in November and a month with the same injury late in the 2024-25 season.
