Jalen Brunson’s Grade 1 right ankle sprain isn’t going to sideline him for very long. In fact, he’s all but guaranteed to return during the New York Knicks’ current road trip.
Though the team has already ruled out its captain for Monday’s tilt against the Miami Heat, he is traveling for the five-games-in-total jaunt away from Madison Square Garden, according to the New York Post’s Jared Schwartz. JB may be the consummate leader, but this isn’t a trip he makes if the Knicks and himself aren’t expecting him to return.
Not only that, but when looking at the actual schedule, we can narrow down the timeline for his return even further.
