The New York Knicks have nothing left to play for when it comes to the Eastern Conference standings. They clinched the No. 5 seed following the Nets’ Tuesday night loss to Minnesota. We know they’ll play the Cavaliers, who clinched the No. 4 seed, in the first round. The last three games of the season don’t mean much.
It makes sense, then, that the Knicks have already announced that star point guard Jalen Brunson will miss Wednesday night’s game against the Pacers with what they’re calling “right hand maintenance.”
Jalen Brunson (right hand maintenance) is out tonight at Indiana.
