Brunson totaled 12 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 101-92 win over the Heat.
Brunson missed the last two games due to a hand injury, but he didn't appear to have a significant minutes restriction in his return to action Wednesday. While his production was somewhat limited, it was encouraging to see him back in action. He's made just seven appearances this month and has averaged 23.9 points, 5.7 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 32.3 minutes per game.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Downgraded to out
Rotowire
Brunson (hand) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rockets.
Brunson is slated to miss a second straight game due to a right hand sprain. The left-handed point guard got a practice in Saturday, so it appears his expected absence Monday is precautionary. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against the Heat, but his status for that game won't be known until after Monday's contest. In Brunson's absence, Immanuel Quickley figures to draw another start.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Scores 25 against Miami
Rotowire
Brunson chipped in 25 points (10-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 127-120 loss to the Heat.
Brunson has scored 20-plus points in each of his three games since returning to action and remains a key contributor on offense for the Knicks. In fact, the consistency has been admirable, as he has scored at least 20 points in all but one of his six appearances in the current month, establishing himself as one of the Knicks' premiere offensive weapons alongside Julius Randle. Brunson is averaging a career-best 23.8 points per game this season while shooting 41.1 percent from deep, which is also a career-high mark.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Nabs fifth double-double
Rotowire
Brunson compiled 23 points (9-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 assists, two rebounds and two steals across 37 minutes in Monday's 140-134 loss to the Timberwolves.
With a hot-shooting Julius Randle leading the offensive charge with a career-high 57 points, Brunson sacrificed some usage and acted as more of a facilitator, enabling him to tally double-digit assists for the first time since Christmas Day. Brunson still finished second on the Knicks in scoring, nearly hitting his season average of 23.8 points per game while offering his usual efficiency from the field and free-throw line. Brunson looks like he's all systems go after playing 32 and 37 minutes in his first two games back following a recent three-game absence due to left foot soreness.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Scores 24 points in return
Rotowire
Brunson (foot) produced 24 points (9-20 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five assists and two rebounds across 32 minutes during Saturday's 116-110 win over the Nuggets.
Brunson returned after missing the previous three games due to a foot injury, leading the way for the Knicks in the scoring column. The point guard re-entered the lineup without being ramped back up slowly, as his 32 minutes were only three behind his season-long setback. Barring any setbacks, he should be ready to play on a regular basis moving forward, continuing what has been a breakout season in both fantasy and reality.

Brunson was expected to play, barring a setback in pregame warmups, and he managed to get through the activities unscathed. He should be expected to regain his spot in the starting lineup following his three-game absence and be full-go. His return will likely knock Immanuel Quickley back to the second unit.

Brunson, who was considered doubtful for Tuesday's matchup, will sit his third straight game.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Out Sunday, doubtful Tuesday
Rotowire
Brunson (foot) won't play Sunday against the Lakers and is unlikely to suit up for Tuesday's game at Portland, Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News reports.
Speaking pregame, head coach Tim Thibodeau noted that he anticipates Brunson missing the final leg of the team's Western Conference road swing Tuesday in Portland. After that contest, the Knicks return home and have three consecutive off days leading up to Saturday's game against Denver. It's realistic that Brunson, who was spotted in a walking boot Sunday, according to Steve Popper of Newsday, could return for that matchup, though he should remain on the bench in weekly lineup fantasy leagues. Immanuel Quickley replaced Brunson in the starting five and played 42 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Clippers, and Quickley will likely be in store for big workloads again Sunday and Tuesday.

Brunson (foot) will not return Thursday against the Kings.
Brunson had just returned from a two-game absence and was playing well before this setback, scoring 19 points in 19 minutes with two rebounds, two assists and three triples.

Rotowire
Brunson (foot) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Kings.
Brunson has missed a pair of contests with soreness in his left foot and is at risk of missing a third Thursday. Immanuel Quickley drew the start in both games and would likely remain in the first unit if Brunson is sidelined, while Miles McBride could see more action off the bench.
