Jalen Brunson’s injury — he suffered a Grade 1 right ankle sprain during a 124-107 loss to the Magic on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden — puts the team’s backup point guard weakness under the spotlight. The Knicks had planned on Malcolm Brogdon filling that void, but he suddenly retired before the season started.

A season can always turn with an ankle — especially when it’s Jalen Brunson’s. Witnesses reported Brunson leaving MSG with a walking boot and crutches less than an hour after he turned his right ankle in garbage time of a 124-107 loss to the Magic.
