Is Jalen Brunson playing tonight? Knicks-Pacers playoff injury update for May 10
The New York Knicks have a 2-0 lead over Indiana, but the Game 3 lineup will look much different than it did in Game 1. Mitchell Robinson is out for at least six weeks with a "stress injury" to his ankle, and OG Anunoby is out for Friday's matchup after he injured his hamstring in the third quarter of Game 2.
Brunson wasn't at 100 percent entering the semifinals, and that percentage dipped after he hurt his foot in Game 2. He missed the last few minutes of the first quarter and the entire second quarter, and it seemed he wouldn't return. Brunson was back on the floor warming up for the second half, scoring 24 of his 29 points.
After the Knicks' 130-121 win, Brunson said he was "all good" and that he didn't get any imaging done on his foot.
