Jalen Brunson's apparent illness at media day has raised serious questions about his availability for the New York Knicks' crucial NBA Cup semifinal game again

“And so for me, Jalen is just doing what he gets paid to do,” Brown said. “He’s an MVP candidate in this business, and he’s just showing it again to everybody, and hopefully, you guys and the rest of the world take notice of it.” The competition, however, isn’t some cake walk.

The Knicks’ latest injury report suggests that Jalen Brunson is clear to play tonight’s exciting semifinal bash against the Orlando Magic.

Brunson gets by with elite footwork that is second to none and that Brown compares to Kobe Bryant’s. Brunson’s ability to routinely play off two feet keeps him in control of himself and a defender. It’s the fundamentals that separate him from a lot of the other elite scorers in the NBA.

The New York Knicks are reportedly interested in bringing back Donte DiVincenzo to add backcourt depth and another shooter.
