Jalen Brunson missed the Knicks' win over the Jazz, but they'll need him much more against the Thunder on Friday.

Jalen Brunson has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Western Conference's top seed with a calf injury. Leading up to the game, Brunson was considered questionable with the same injury that cost him to miss the team's first game of 2025 earlier in the week.

New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson has been placed on the official NBA injury list ahead of the side’s game against top of the West: Oklahoma City Thunder, plunging his participation into doubt. The 28-year-old missed out on New York’s most recent game against the Jazz, his first absence of the campaign.
