SACRAMENTO, CA — New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson left Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings after tweaking his ankle.
Brunson rolled his ankle on a non-contact play during the first quarter against the Kings.
He was sizing up Kings rookie Maxime Raynaud and as Brunson got into his dribble package − a hesitation, between the legs dribble − and looked to make his move, he rolled his ankle and fell on the ball before passing it to a teammate.
Brunson limped to the locker room after exiting the game. He did not return, the Knicks ruling him out with a right ankle injury.
An immediate update on Brunson's status was not available after the game.
