Jalen Brunson injury update: Knicks star goes to locker room in Game 4

With their backs against the wall, the New York Knicks have played fairly well in Game 4 against the Atlanta Hawks.

Things may get a little more complicated.

All-Star point guard Jalen Brunson, New York’s best player and captain, went into the locker room in the third quarter Saturday, April 25, after getting banged up on a loose ball.

During the play, Brunson was getting defended by Hawks guards Dyson Daniels and CJ McCollum. Brunson appeared to tweak his right ankle before going down, but also may have also drawn contact to his head and neck area, as Daniels and McCollum wrapped Brunson up for a jump ball. Daniels also appeared to land on Brunson’s left ankle.

Brunson did take the jump ball, but lost it. Moments later, he asked for a substitution and jogged into the locker room with 10:29 left to play in the period. Brunson did not appear to have any notable limp as he walked down the tunnel.
