The New York Knicks are set to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. But they will continue to play without one of their key players. Point guard Jalen Brunson remains sidelined due to a right ankle sprain, which he sustained a couple of weeks ago.
In addition to Brunson’s injury, the Knicks are also dealing with other injuries. Cam Payne is out with a left ankle sprain, while Miles McBride is sidelined with a right groin strain. Ariel Hukporti is recovering from left knee meniscus surgery.
