Headed into Game 2 of the Knicks-Heat playoff series, all of the talk was focused on ankles. For the Knicks, fans were hoping that Julius Randle, who missed Game 1 with an ankle sprain, would be good to go on Tuesday night. For the Heat, the concern is Jimmy Butler, who sprained his ankle in the closing minutes of their Game 1 victory.
Then, suddenly, the ankle gods through us a curveball. When it came time for the Knicks to list their injuries for Game 2, Jalen Brunson’s name was right there alongside Randle’s.
Knicks say Julius Randle (sprained ankle) and Jalen Brunson (sore ankle) are questionable for Game 2.
