Struggles in loss
Brunson supplied 14 points (5-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 108-100 loss to the Hawks.
Analysis
Brunson's 14 points were his fewest since Nov. 17. While the 28-year-old guard struggled with his efficiency against Atlanta, he is still posting 49.1/42.9/82.3 shooting splits this season. Brunson's average of 7.8 assists per contest in 2024-25 is also a career high.

Double-doubles Monday
Brunson logged 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-5 FT), four rebounds and 11 assists in 35 minutes during Monday's 113-108 win over Toronto.
Analysis
Brunson reached the 20-point mark for the fourth straight game and has notched double-digit dimes in his last two contests. He appears to have taken a back seat to Karl-Anthony Towns as the Knicks' go-to player on offense in recent weeks, but the star floor general is more than capable of taking over on any single game if called upon duty. Brunson is averaging 22.4 points and 7.8 assists per game since the beginning of December.

Cleared to return
Brunson (ankle) checked back in to Monday's game against the Raptors, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Brunson made a quick stop to the locker room after appearing to hurt his ankle while tripping over a fan sitting courtside, but he managed to avoid a significant injury. He'll check back in with a little under seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter.

Walks to locker room
Brunson was spotted heading to the locker room after stepping on the foot of a fan sitting courtside during Monday's game against the Raptors, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.
Analysis
Brunson looked to be walking without any sign of a limp on his way to the locker room at the end of the third quarter, but he made his way to the back slowly. The location and extent of his injury is unclear at this time.

Big double-double in loss
Brunson chipped in 31 points (11-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-9 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 44 minutes during Saturday's 120-111 loss to the Pistons.
Analysis
Brunson stepped up for the Knicks with running mate Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) sidelined Saturday, but his third 30-point, 10-assist double-double of the season wasn't enough as New York fell to the Pistons. Over his last 10 contests, Brunson is averaging 26.8 points, 8.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 3.4 three-pointers per game while shooting a sizzling 51.5 percent from beyond the arc. The superstar guard would figure to do the heavy lifting as the top option on offense if Towns is unable to return for Monday's favorable matchup against Toronto, a team that ranks 25th in the NBA in points allowed per game (117.4).

Good to go Saturday vs. Detroit
Brunson (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis
Brunson was a game-time decision for Saturday's game due to a lower back contusion, but he was cleared to play after going through pregame warmups. Brunson will have to take on a larger scoring role due to Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Cameron Payne (elbow) both being ruled out.

Iffy for Saturday vs. Detroit
Brunson (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis
Brunson is dealing with a lower back contusion and is in jeopardy of missing his first game of the season. If the star point guard is ruled out, Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek are candidates for an uptick in playing time. Over his last five outings, Brunson averaged 25.8 points, 6.2 assists and 2.8 rebounds across 30.6 minutes per game.

Scores 24 points in comfortable win
Brunson notched 24 points (6-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Thursday's 125-101 win over Charlotte.
Analysis
Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby led the way for the Knicks offensively in this 24-point blowout win, but Brunson's performance stood out due to his efficiency. The star floor general missed only two of his eight shots from the field and was particularly locked in from three-point range. Even though Towns has been the Knicks' go-to player on offense in recent weeks, Brunson remains a player worth trusting to deliver elite numbers across all formats. He's averaging 24.9 points, 8.7 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game across his last 10 appearances.
