Knicks vs Heat injury report for Game 4 playoffs: Is Jalen Brunson playing?
New York Knicks fans were eagerly awaiting Game 3 on Saturday in Miami after the series had a three-day break, but it turned out to be a nightmare waiting to happen. The Heat were in control from start to finish, winning 105-86.
As if matters couldn’t have been made worse, Immanuel Quickley left the game in the fourth quarter with what Tom Thibodeau called a sprained ankle postgame. Jalen Brunson, who has been dealing with right ankle soreness, was limping around on the court himself. Although Quickley has struggled in the playoffs, those are two players that New York can’t be without.
With Miami having a 2-1 lead, Game 4 is a must-win for New York. If the Knicks lose, they’ll be faced with an elimination game on their home court.
