Tonight will be the anticipated return of Jalen Brunson to Big D after he left his role as Luka Doncic’s sidekick. He agreed to a $100-plus million contract over four years with the New York Knicks that seemingly was agreed upon weeks before the allowed negotiation window after four years with the Dallas Mavericks, resulting in rescinding a second-round pick in 2025.
The Knicks would do it all over again. Averaging over 20 points per game and nearly seven assists, Brunson could be en route to his first All-Star trip, something the Mavs fans hoped for themselves.
