New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson made his return Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks after missing a week with a Grade 1 right ankle sprain.
Brunson had 28 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists as the Knicks outlasted the Mavericks 113-111.
Brunson sustained the injury Nov. 12 on a drive to the basket late in the Knicks' 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.
