New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson is making his return Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks after missing a week with a Grade 1 right ankle sprain.
Brunson sustained the injury Nov. 12 on a drive to the basket with under two minutes remaining in the Knicks' 124-107 home loss to the Orlando Magic. He was evaluated daily while missing two games against the Miami Heat.
The injury was to the same ankle Brunson sprained last season that forced him to sit out 15 games. It was initially termed a two-week injury, but he sat out additional time before returning for the playoffs.
