LOS ANGELES — Deuce McBride’s first crack as Jalen Brunson’s replacement was a disappointment. He expects to be better. “I’ve been a point guard my whole life,” McBride said. “I’ll bounce back and we’ll figure it out.”

The New York Knicks have received an encouraging update on Jalen Brunson following initial findings following an X-Ray.

The team has not given an expected timetable for Brunson’s return, opting to await the results of further testing.
