Will Jalen Brunson play against Washington Wizards?

Jalen Brunson has been once again the heart and soul of the New York Knicks. The two-time All-Star has been out of action since March 6, when he injured his ankle in a loss to Los Angeles Lakers. According to a report from Associated Press (AP), Brunson will not be taking part in the clash against Wizards as he recovers from ankle sprain. 

This will be the eighth game that Brunson will be missing as he recorded 39 points and 10 assists before leaving the court in the 113-109 loss against the Lakers. Ever since Brunson has been out of action, the Knicks have a record of 3-4. Brunson has been averaging 26.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

Earlier this week, Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau gave latest update on Brunson's health.

The only thing I'd say is he's doing light shooting and he's out of the boot. So steady progress. We'll see, Thibodeau said. "Whenever he's ready, he's ready.

Thibodeau mentioned that Brunson 'has been putting a lot of effort' in his rehab and hopes that the point guard is fully fit before the start of 2025 playoffs. With the start of the postseason nearing, the Knicks remain third in the Eastern Conference with a record of 43-26. On the other hand, the Washington Wizards are placed last (fifteenth) in the Eastern Conference with a below par record of 15-54.
