Jalen Brunson 'Doing Everything I Can' to Return From Injury amid Knicks Playoff Push

New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson provided an update on his recovery from an ankle sprain.

"Little recap, I've been back here, back east, since the LA game," Brunson said on Thursday's Roommates Show podcast (1:29 mark). "Feeling better. Walking, I'm out of the boot."

"Just doing everything I can to get back 100 percent," he added.

Brunson suffered a right ankle sprain in overtime of the Knicks' 113-109 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers on March 6.

New York owns a modest 5-5 record in the 10 games that the star point guard has missed since, but offensive struggles have been rampant without him. The Knicks' 113.7 offensive rating over their past 10 contests ranks No. 19 among all teams, via NBA.com.

On Saturday, the team announced that Brunson was doing controlled court work and would provide an update on his status in "approximately one week."

SNY's Ian Begley reported Monday that the 28-year-old's rehab was "progressing faster than initially anticipated" and there was "no thought of him missing the rest of the regular season."

The Knicks, who currently sit at No. 3 in the Eastern Conference standings with a 45-27 record, have 10 regular-season contests remaining.

Brunson was in the midst of another efficient season prior to the injury, averaging 26.3 points and a career-high 7.4 assists per game on 49.0/38.4/82.5 shooting splits.

As New York attempts to enter the playoffs on a high note, Brunson has continued to navigate through the recovery from his ankle sprain.
