Jalen Brunson out here breaking hearts-especially Spike Lee’s-and now, ankles.
Will he suit up tonight? Our man has the heart of a lion; gotta give that whole team some credit they play likes it’s their last game.
The Knicks just embarked on their five-game West Coast swing and already took an L against the Lakers and Ozempic Dončić.
Which probably means sports bettors are chomping at the bit, hammering the spread against the Knicks like President Trump on a WW3 button.
Tonight, they face the Clippers, whose shooting efficiency lately resembles Helen Keller on a deer hunt.

As for the injury report, Brunson isn’t officially out yet, but considering the upcoming games against the
I do not see Brunson playing tonight. Neither do sports bettors as we seen from them trends.
