UPDATE: Brunson has been ruled out for the remainder of the game. Tyler Kolek is starting the second half in his place.


Not the kind of start you want to the game if you’re a Knicks fan. New York superstar Jalen Brunson went back to the locker room during the first quarter of Wednesday’s contest against the Kings after suffering an apparent ankle injury.

There’s no word yet on Brunson’s status. Before exiting the game, the All-Star posted four points in five minutes of action. Stay tuned to DraftKings Network for updates on Brunson’s status.
