The New York Knicks are already in a mess with finding their new head coach, and Jalen Brunson better not be joking at this time.
After a historic season that saw them reach the Eastern Conference Finals, the Knicks are now at a crossroads.
Recently, Knicks star point guard Brunson caused a bit of a stir with a cryptic post on X (formerly Twitter). He tweeted out of confusion without giving away any bit of hint to his fans about what he was talking about.
However, now he has come forward to clarify that the confusing tweet was for the TV reality show, Love Island.
“Damn my bad yall, I was talking about love island,” Brunson retweeted.
