Knicks Face Pacers Again: Brunson Questionable with Ankle Sprain

The New York Knicks will face the Indiana Pacers at Madison Square Garden. Jalen Brunson is listed as questionable on the injury report with a right ankle sprain and cervical strain.

Knicks Injury Concerns

Brunson is dealing with a right ankle sprain and cervical strain. Miles McBride remains out while recovering from hernia surgery, with his estimated return as April 1.

Josh Hart has dealt with left knee soreness recently, which flared up during the five-game road trip and caused him to miss games in Utah and Indiana. There’s no indication as of right now that he won’t suit up for Tuesday’s rematch with Indiana.

Landry Shamet was listed as questionable with a neck sprain before the game against the Lakers on March 8. Over the last five games, Shamet has shot 36% from the field and 29% from deep, yet in the five games prior to the reported neck sprain, he had shot 51% and 39%.

Pacers’ Injury Report

The Indiana Pacers’ injury report lists several players as day-to-day and questionable. These include Ben Sheppard (ankle), Quenton Jackson (calf), T.J. McConnell (right hamstring soreness), Andrew Nembhard (calf), Ivica Zubac (ankle), Aaron Nesmith (ankle), and Obi Toppin (foot). Pascal Siakam remains out/doubtful with a right knee sprain.
