How Knicks filled Jalen Brunson-sized hole in first game without All-Star point guard

The New York Knicks' recent loss to the Orlando Magic highlights ongoing challenges, particularly with the absence of All-Star point guard Jalen Brunson. This situation is compounded by the hamstring injury of forward OG Anunoby, which further strains the team's roster depth. The Knicks, despite being favored, struggled to maintain their performance, reflecting a broader trend in the league where teams must adapt to player injuries and fatigue. The Magic's recent success, even without star forward Paolo Banchero, underscores the importance of strategic adjustments in overcoming player absences.
