It's been nearly a month since Knicks star Jalen Brunson suffered an ankle injury in an overtime loss to the Lakers, and while it is clear that the team misses him, New York has managed to put up an 8-5 record in his absence, including five wins in the team's last six games.

Begley also reported that he has heard Brunson's rehab is "progressing faster than initially anticipated," he wrote, though the team will not bring him back until he is 100% healt

Jalen Brunson said Sunday he is feeling and moving better on his sprained right ankle and still hoping to rejoin the New York Knicks before the playoffs. Brunson missed his 12th straight game when the Knicks played Portland and the All-Star point guard isn't certain when he can return.
