    • Struggles with shot in Game 3
      Brunson supplied 26 points (10-26 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Friday's 111-106 loss to the Pacers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

      Advice: Brunson's final stat line looks decent overall, but the fact that he needed 26 shots to score 26 points can't be overlooked. The star guard has been one of the league's best players during the postseason, and the Knicks need him to be more efficient ahead of a pivotal Game 4 on Sunday. This may be just a bump in the road for Brunson, however, as he's shooting 50 percent from the field while averaging 32.7 points per game so far in the series. Rotowire.com Today, 8:10 am
       
    • Jalen Brunson (foot) logs 38 minutes in Game 3
      Jalen Brunson (sore right foot) shot 10-of-26 from the field and 4-of-7 from the foul line in Friday’s 111-106 loss to Indiana, accumulating 26 points, six assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

      Advice: Brunson did not look like himself early in Game 3, eventually subbing out with 6:55 remaining in the first quarter. The good news for the Knicks is that he still played 38 minutes and eventually got going as New York nearly stole a win on the road. The five turnovers were a concern, as the Pacers made Aaron Nesmith the primary defender, using a bigger body to make life difficult for Brunson. Now, there’s a quick turnaround for JB and the shorthanded Knicks to navigate, as Game 4 is on Sunday afternoon. Brunson may appear on the injury report but expect the Knicks point guard to take on his usual workload (or be close to it). Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:05 pm
       
    • Good to go for Game 3
      Brunson (foot) is available and in the starting lineup for Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

      Advice: As expected, Brunson has been upgraded from questionable to available Friday despite dealing with right foot soreness. With OG Anunoby (hamstring) out, Brunson will likely need to continue his scoring dominance in order for the Knicks to take a 3-0 lead in the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:38 pm
       
    • Expected to play Friday
      Brunson (foot) will likely go through warmups and play in Friday's Game 3 against the Pacers, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.

      Advice: Brunson is officially listed as questionable for Friday's contest due to right foot soreness but is expected to suit up. The star guard is averaging 35.6 points, 8.1 assists and 4.4 rebounds in 42.4 minutes across his eight appearances thus far in the postseason. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:55 pm
       
    • Jalen Brunson (foot) active Friday vs. Pacers
      Jalen Brunson (right foot soreness) has been upgraded from questionable to active for Friday’s Knicks-Pacers game.

      Advice: Brunson had an injury scare in Game 2 before returning to action and appears to be healthy enough to play again ahead of the weekend. It’s unclear whether he’ll handle his usual heavy workload, but some reserve guards could be asked to step up while OG Anunoby is out. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:48 pm
       
    • Returns for second half
      Brunson (foot) has returned for the second half of Wednesday's Game 2 matchup with the Pacers, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Brunson tweaked his foot during the first half and took an early trip to the locker room, but he started the second half for New York. However, the injury is clearly hampering him, as he's sporting a bit of a limp and struggling to guard his position on defense. It'll be interesting to see how he finishes the game.

    • Jalen Brunson (foot) returns for third quarter
      Jalen Brunson (sore right foot) is on the court for the start of the third quarter of Wednesday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: Having exited with a little over three minutes remaining in the first quarter, Brunson was considered questionable to return. The All-Star point guard started the third quarter but has not looked like his usual self. Rotoworld Wednesday, 6:24 pm
       
    • Jalen Brunson (foot) questionable to return Weds.
      Jalen Brunson (sore right foot) is questionable to return to Wednesday’s game against the Pacers.

      Advice: Brunson appeared to suffer a left hand injury during the first quarter of Wednesday’s Game 2 when he collided with Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard. However, the Knicks have announced that it’s a right foot issue that has kept him out of the game for most of the first half. Miles McBride will run the show until the Knicks get their All-Star point guard back, and this is a terrible turn of events for a team already lacking depth. Rotoworld Wednesday, 5:59 pm
       
    • Has sore right foot
      Brunson is questionable to return to Wednesday's Game 2 against the Pacers with a sore right foot.

      Advice: Brunson went to the locker room late in the first quarter and stayed there to start the second. The Knicks have given an update on his status, listing him as questionable to return with soreness in his right foot. Miles McBride should man the point guard spot for as long as Brunson is sidelined. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 5:59 pm
