Brunson’s return to the lineup comes after recovering from a right ankle sprain sustained during a game against the Memphis Grizzlies earlier in February. Despite initial concerns, Brunson’s injury was not as severe as feared, and he is ready to resume play.

His return is pivotal for the Knicks, particularly amidst significant injuries to key players such as Julius Randle, OG Anunoby, and Mitchell Robinson, highlighting the team’s reliance on his contributions.
In previous encounters with the Detroit Pistons, Jalen Brunson has demonstrated his impact, boasting impressive statistics with an impressive 10-1 record against them. Notably, he has averaged 20.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game, showcasing his versatility and scoring prowess.
