Knicks suffer crushing OT loss to Lakers as Jalen Brunson exits with injury
NY Post
LOS ANGELES — The Knicks loss on the scoreboard Thursday night was made worse by the sight of Jalen Brunson limping off the court.
The star point guard turned his right ankle badly with 1:24 remaining in overtime of the 113-109 defeat to the Lakers, crumbling under the basket after absorbing multiple fouls on a drive.
Brunson remained in the game to hit two free throws — tying the score — but didn’t attempt to move from his position before heading slowly to the locker room.
