New York Knicks Injury Report: Will star player Jalen Brunson feature against Atlanta Hawks?

The Atlanta Hawks will play hosts New York Knicks on Saturday, April 5 at the State Farm Arena. All eyes would be on whether the star player Jalen Brunson features against the Knicks or not. 

Will Jalen Brunson play against Atlanta Hawks?

The 28-year-old point guard is listed on the team's injury report as questionable for the clash against the Hawks. His availability for the contest against the Hawks will depend on how he feels before the tip-off. He has missed the last 14 games for the Knicks as the team went 6-8 during that duration. He is likely to face restrictions in his playtime even if he returns from his injury. 

Brunson sprained his right ankle during overtime of the Knicks' loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on March 6. His status was recently changed to questionable as Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau told the reporters that Brunson had been 'cleared for basketball activities' on Wednesday. 

As only six games remain in the regular season which includes two back-to-back nights, Brunson can afford to miss two games in order to cross the 65 games mark to qualify for the end of season awards.
