New York Knicks team captain and point guard Jalen Brunson has spent the summer recovering from the minor procedure he needed to repair a tendon issue in his dominant left wrist shortly after he guided the club to an NBA Finals victory over the San Antonio Spurs.
During the latest edition of the New York Post’s “New York Got Game” show, Brunson discussed his ongoing recovery.

Brunson is expected to be good for the start of training camp in September. It was previously learned that he first began playing through discomfort during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals series that featured the Knicks sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Despite the injury, Brunson averaged 32.6 points and 4.6 assists per game over New York’s five NBA Finals contests. He scored
45 points on 14-of-27 shooting in the series-clincher to cement himself as the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player.
Jalen Brunson sends warning to NBA about Knicks’ title defense
Brunson previously acknowledged that the Knicks will have “a target” on their backs as the reigning champions. He made those comments before superstar LeBron James officially joined the Philadelphia 76ers to form the NBA’s latest so-called “superteam.”
That said, Brunson insisted during the interview that his overall mentality hasn’t changed after the Knicks claimed the franchise’s first NBA title in 53 years.
