The New York Knicks have had a curious season. While boasting one of the most talented starting fives in the league (New York traded a boatload of assets for All-Defensive small forward Mikal Bridges over the summer and subsequently acquired All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns right before training camp),

Jalen Brunson made his long-awaited return to the New York Knicks lineup. Exactly a month after going down with an ankle injury, Brunson came back in a 112-98 win against the Phoenix Suns, posting 15 points and six assists in 34 minutes.

Brunson hasn’t played since spraining his ankle on March 6. He needs four more games to qualify for postseason awards. If he doesn’t play in both games of back-to-back sets (the Knicks have two more of those), a return by this weekend will get him exactly to the 65-game threshold by the season finale in Brooklyn on April 13.
