The New York Knicks are fresh off a tough weekend of losing back-to-back games in disappointing fashion, but they get some positive news when the NBA announced on Tuesday afternoon that point guard Jalen Brunson had been named the KIA NBA Eastern Conference Player of the Month for the second time. (He previously took the honors in February 2023.)
Brunson, who lead the Knicks to a 9-5 record despite missing fellow All-Star Julius Randle for all 14 of those games and OG Anunoby for all but two of those games, averaged 28.
