Brunson’s Recovery Is Knicks’ Next Big Test | New York Knicks News

Jalen Brunson’s wrist surgery is a pivotal moment for the Knicks — he played through pain in the playoffs, averaging 32 points and dropping 45 in a game, proving his resilience. Now, the team’s priority is a disciplined, patient recovery plan: let the wrist heal fully, keep him in shape, and avoid rushing him back. While Brunson’s scoring can’t be replaced, guards like Kolek and Alvarado can shoulder more ball-handling and second-unit duties to ease his load. The Knicks must use this summer wisely — protecting Brunson’s long-term health is non-negotiable if they hope to defend their title.
