  • 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 5:59 pm
     
  • In locker room to start second
    Brunson stayed in the locker room following the first quarter of Wednesday's Game 2 against Indiana for unspecified reasons, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Brunson exited the contest late in the first period and went back to the locker room with an undisclosed injury and didn't return to the bench to start the second quarter. Until clarification is provided, Brunson should be considered questionable to return. Miles McBride should handle most of the point guard duties in Brunson's stead, while Shake Milton could see his first action of the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:50 pm
     
  • Tyrese Haliburton (back) available for Game 2 Wed.
    Tyrese Haliburton (lower back spasms) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.

    Advice: As expected, Haliburton is available and will start Game 2. He only attempted six shots in Game 1, which is way too low for a player of his caliber. Look for Haliburton to be far more involved in the Pacers offense as a scorer, which could cut into his assist tally. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:58 pm
     
  • Cleared for Game 2
    Haliburton (back) is available for Wednesday's Game 2 against the Knicks.

    Advice: Haliburton has been battling back spasms throughout the playoffs, but he'll play through the issue once again Wednesday. However, it's possible the back spasms could impact his effectiveness considering he scored just six points in 36 minutes during Game 1 on Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:13 pm
     
  • Won't play in Game 2
    Jerome (ankle) has been ruled out for Game 2 versus the Celtics on Thursday.

  • Ruled out for Game 2
    Porter (ankle) will remain out for Game 2 against the Celtics on Thursday.

    Advice: Porter has yet to suit up for any of the Cavaliers' playoff games thus far, but even if he were active, he wouldn't be included in the rotation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:36 pm
