The 2023–24 NBA season has been quite the breakout year for Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson. The first-time All-Star has played great basketball and has his team in a position for a top-four seed in the Eastern Conference, despite all the injuries.
Against the Detroit Pistons on Monday night, Brunson dished out six assists in the 124-99 victory. This puts his season total at 429. Last season, JB had 421 assists in 68 games. He got his 422nd assist on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets. The Knicks guard set his career best in three fewer games and approximately 125 fewer minutes.
