Jalen Brunson is expected to be back on the court for the Knicks’ defense of their title.
NEW YORK — Jalen Brunson has undergone left wrist surgery and is expected to be back on the court when the New York Knicks begin defense of their
NBA title
, a person with knowledge of the details said Tuesday.
The
NBA Finals MVP
is expected to resume basketball activities later this summer, the person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because there was no announcement about Brunson’s procedure.
Brunson’s surgery was first reported by SNY.
Brunson, who is left-handed, didn’t let the wrist injury slow him down on the Knicks’ run to their first championship since 1973.
He
scored 45 points
when the Knicks won the title in
Game 5
in San Antonio, after finishing with 36 when they made a
record-setting comeback from a 29-point deficit
in
Game 4.
The point guard averaged 32.6 points in the Finals.
