"Knicks' Jalen Brunson's Clean MRI and Deuce McBride's Emergence: Latest Updates"

The New York Knicks avoided facing uncomfortable questions about Jalen Brunson's injury as it turned out to be a knee contusion rather than a season-ending ligament injury. With key players like Julius Randle and OG Anunoby expected to return from injuries, the team is hoping to regain their early-season form and secure a higher playoff seed in a competitive Eastern Conference. Despite facing challenges, the Knicks remain a dark horse threat in the NBA playoffs, especially if Brunson can make a successful return.
