In the New York game on February 6 against Memphis, Brunson seemed to sustain an injury to his right ankle. During a drive to the basket with 5:31 left in the fourth quarter, Brunson placed his foot, and his ankle rotated. He was spotted on the bench at first, attempting to recover from his injuries, but he eventually returned to the locker room.

Will Jalen Brunson miss the all-star game?

According to a source, Brunson might miss the game but escaped a potentially fatal injury.

Given that Brunson injured his ankle on Tuesday night and missed the conclusion of the Grizzlies game, the fact that he is still “questionable” and not out is most likely good news.

There was no mention of Josh Hart’s knee soreness in the injury report.

Quentin Grimes and OG Anunoby had worse news—they were both listed out once more. Due to an elbow injury, Anunoby will miss his fifth consecutive game.
The Knicks first diagnosed him with “elbow inflammation,” but on Wednesday they changed their diagnosis to “bone spur irritation.”

Grimes’ damaged knee has kept him out of action for the fourth time in a row.

With ten minutes to go on Tuesday and the Knicks leading by ten, Brunson twisted his ankle.
On Tuesday, he was seen walking out of the arena without the use of crutches, a noticeable limp, or a boot. That was a positive indication. However, he was moving cautiously.

The Knicks didn’t practice on Wednesday, according to Thibodeau, who said he had no knowledge or insight following the game.

Meanwhile, due to his knee problem, Hart underwent a “medical,” as Thibodeau described, examination. Despite his discomfort, he persevered and concluded the game with 10 points and 10 rebounds in 37 minutes.
