Is Jalen Brunson playing tonight? Latest injury update for Knicks vs Mavericks Feb. 8

The New York Knicks need the All-Star break, and they need it now. Four more games stand between the team and a week off, starting with Thursday's contest against Dallas.

New York will certainly be without three starters in Julius Randle, OG Anunoby, and Mitchell Robinson, but could also be down a couple more key players.

Anunoby last played on Jan. 27, and Quentin Grimes has missed the past three games with a knee sprain. Jalen Brunson rolled his ankle in Tuesday's win over Memphis, but he was seen leaving MSG without crutches. After the game, Josh Hart, who has been starting, was evaluated for a right knee injury.

As you can see, the Knicks can't catch a break. The trade deadline is later today, but if New York does make a deal or two, those players won't be available in time for tonight's matchup.
