Jalen Brunson will miss his second consecutive game when the New York Knicks try to stretch the league’s active longest winning streak to 10 Tuesday night at home against the slumping Charlotte Hornets.
New York coach Tom Thibodeau told reporters before the game that Brunson’s sore left foot, which also held him back last Sunday in Boston, is feeling better. But as a precaution, he will sit out for only the sixth time this season. But he will travel with the team on the Knicks’ upcoming West Coast trip that begins in Sacramento on Thursday.
