Knicks' Jalen Brunson cleared after offseason wrist surgery

Jalen Brunson returns to full health just as the New York Knicks prepare for another campaign. The guard, who averaged 26.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists while shooting 46.7% from the field last season, was listed as day‑to‑day in July due to a wrist issue. His clearance after offseason surgery means he can start training camp without restriction, restoring the Knicks’ primary offensive engine.

The Knicks sit at 53–29, third in the Eastern Conference and seventh in the overall power rankings, with a net rating of +6.3. Brunson’s availability should help the team improve on a recent six‑win, four‑loss stretch and aim to extend their winning streak. Fans and analysts will watch how his restored wrist influences his shooting rhythm and playmaking as New York targets a deeper playoff run.
