We tell you when Jalen Brunson will play again

New York Knicks star point guard, Jalen Brunson, stated on Sunday that his goal is to return to the court before the end of the regular season. However, he emphasized that his priority is to be fully healthy to face what he and the team hope will be a long postseason.

"I really hope to play before the playoffs," Brunson declared in a press conference before the game against the Portland Trail Blazers at Madison Square Garden. "It's important for me to have some games before entering a crucial phase, but the most important thing is to be 100% healthy."

Brunson has not played since March 6, when he suffered an ankle sprain after an unfortunate fall in the loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. In that game, the point guard scored 39 points and dished out 10 assists, adding another stellar performance to his standout season, where he has positioned himself as a candidate for MVP votes and a possible All-NBA selection.

However, with 61 games played so far, Brunson is below the minimum of 65 games required to be eligible for these individual awards. Although he admitted he would like to reach that mark, he made it clear that his main goal is to be ready for the playoffs.

"Individually, yes," he replied when asked if he cared about the possibility of receiving awards. "But the priority is to be completely healthy before returning to play."
