Jalen Brunson Hand Injury: Knicks Star’s Latest Update on His Surgically Repaired Limb & Availability for 2024-25 Season

Jalen Brunson was the last to drop the hammer for the The New York Knicks Amid a slew of injuries in the 2023-24 postseason. Always ready to pull his team up, Game 7 of the second-round playoffs saw his star guard also succumb to the injury curse. But as the offseason slowly winds down, the New York faithful are worried about whether their talisman will be able to play when the time comes.

And the answer is “yes.” While the 27-year-old has been constantly providing us with updates, this one should be even more special. Joining the former Knicks star Mark Jackson, on his YouTube showBrunson delivered the long-awaited news. “The hand is fine. We will see in the first game of the season if it is ready or not.” Jalen Brunson for season opener – confirmed!

It was an undermanned Knicks team that faced Indiana. Led by the energizer bunny, Tyrese Haliburton, the Pacers The Red Devils had also shown signs of becoming a competitive team. In an ideal scenario, where the “Big Apple” had all its pieces, their NBA rivals would certainly struggle to cope.

But on a team where five key players, not including Jalen Brunson, were already out of the lineup due to various injuries, and the most important of them also ended up suffering a major setback, not much could be expected from the Knicks. “I’m proud of what we’ve managed to do this year and how we’ve fought,” JB admitted after crashing that his comment was tinged with a hint of sadness.

Amid those concerns, the former Villanova product nearly gave Knicks fans a heart attack of sorts more than a month ago. But he made sure to calm fears right afterward.

The image of Jalen Brunson in the ring was enough for many fans to take their last breath.

No, no. We’re not talking about the NBA ring here. This is WWE Smackdown at MSG in early July. The court rivals joined the adrenaline-pumping crowd Haliburton and Brunson. Needless to say, the already electric atmosphere was at an incredible level!

Haliburton, a big wrestling fan, was no stranger to the rodeo. But the welcome surprise was the appearance of the local hero. While Tyrese’s presence drew a hail of boos, Jalen received nothing but the welcome of a champion. The drama was heightened when Jalen decided to remind the MSG crowd of their rivalry on the field.

As soon as the two men locked eyes, they engaged in an intense fight that sent chills down the spines of practically everyone in the arena. Despite being a WWE rookie, Jalen Brunson couldn’t turn away from the challenge. He grabbed a nearby steel chair and mockingly waved it at Tyrese Haliburton. And while this got the crowd excited, many fans were worried about JB’s hand.

After all, he was still in rehabilitation after hand surgery. But he quickly allayed all fears with an animated tweet. “I just fulfilled a childhood dream, and yes, the hand is fine, you can relax.” The new All-Star is clearly setting the stage for an exciting 2024-25 season. There’s no doubt Brunson and his teammates will use the Game 7 loss as fuel to push for a better playoff run. And we can’t wait!
