Jalen Brunson injury updates: Knicks star to be evaluated day-to ...
Brunson has a Grade 1 right ankle sprain and is expected to miss Friday's game vs. the Heat
www.cbssports.comHere’s the latest on Jalen Brunson’s injury status based on the most recent reports:
- Brunson was listed as day-to-day with a sprained right ankle after a late-game incident in mid-November 2025, with the Knicks expecting him to miss at most a few games depending on evaluation results. This suggests he wasn’t out long-term at that time.[1]
- In March 2025, Brunson was out at least the final two weeks of the regular season due to the same ankle sprain, with the team stating updates would come in about a week. That indicated a short-term, recovery-focused absence rather than a lingering issue.[2]
- He returned to action in early April 2025 after missing roughly a month with the sprain, contributing upon his return.[4]
- More recently in January 2026, Brunson exited a game with a right ankle injury and was ruled out for the rest of the game, continuing to indicate ankle concerns as a recurring issue.[5][8]
