Knicks' Championship Hopes Hang on Brunson's Wrist | New York Knicks News

Brunson’s wrist rehab is a major question mark for the Knicks’ title hopes, with analysts warning that without his MVP form, repeating as champs may be impossible. Meanwhile, Josh Hart eyes a massive payday—$54M–$62M over three years, possibly even $70M–$80M—with him declaring New York feels like home. On the international stage, Jose Alvarado lit up Puerto Rico qualifiers with 19 points, while Pacome Dadiet made his senior debut for Ivory Coast with 9 rebounds. With Nick Richards gone to Miami, the Knicks scramble for a third center, likely settling on a training camp battle—and rookie Tyler Nickel could fill one of the open two-way spots. Despite early power rankings crowning them 1, skeptics doubt their repeat chances, though Kevin Durant called their run the most thrilling championship he’s ever seen.
