The 26-year-old Brunson has been the Knicks’ most indispensable player.
— due to the aggravation of a left-foot injury that had sidelined him the previous two games — is a legitimate cause for concern for the Knicks, who have a tenuous hold on the No. 5 playoff position in the Eastern Conference with 14 games remaining.
The 26-year-old Brunson has been the Knicks’ most indispensable player through the initial season of the four-year, $104 million contract he signed via free agency last summer.He won’t be easily replaced if the injury sidelines him for an extended period.“Obviously, it’s tough because we were playing so well,” Knicks teammate Josh Hart said after the loss to the Kings. “He’s playing at an All-Star caliber level this whole year. So it’s tough not to have him.
The Knicks will enter back-to-back games in Los Angeles this weekend against the Clippers and the Lakers a half game ahead of the No. 6 Nets in the East. Immanuel Quickley had sparked the Knicks to their win over the Celtics without Brunson, scoring 38 points in a whopping 55 minutes in the double-OT victory. But Quickley has shot just 22.2 percent from the field in the subsequent two losses, including 10 misses in 11 attempts against the Kings.
