CLEVELAND -- Knicks All-Star guard Jalen Brunson had to be helped off the floor Sunday because of a left knee injury -- a potentially devastating setback for New York -- in the first minute against the Cavaliers.

Brunson, who averages 27.2 points, was hurt while attempting a jump shot over Cleveland's Isaac Okoro. Brunson came off a screen near the foul and raised up without any contact.

The 27-year-old Brunson's legs split awkwardly as he came back down, and he staggered toward the 3-point line before falling to the floor.
