Knicks’ Jalen Brunson leaves MSG on crutches amid ankle injury vs. Magic

The New York Knicks, who began the 2025-26 NBA season with a promising 7-3 record, faced a setback as they were defeated by the Orlando Magic 124-107. The loss was compounded by the injury of key player Jalen Brunson, who left Madison Square Garden on crutches due to an ankle injury. This incident not only highlights the physical toll of the sport but also raises questions about the Knicks' ability to maintain their early-season momentum. With Brunson's status uncertain, the team's future performance in the Eastern Conference could be significantly impacted.
