Brunson suffered a right ankle injury in overtime of New York’s March 6 loss to the Lakers and isn’t expected back until the end of the month. In his absence, the Knicks (42-24) have held their own — but offensive struggles have made every possession a battle.

New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson is sidelined with an ankle sprain, likely for at least one more week, but he has already built a compelling case to be one of the league's best players. CBS Sports writer Sam Quinn believes that Brunson should be on the All-NBA Second Team this season.

In an alternate universe where Jalen Brunson didn't attend Villanova, so much might've been different. The Wildcats may not have won those two NCAA titles under Jay Wright. The current New York Knicks might not be loaded up with former Villanova stars.
