Rimside Brief
Jalen Brunson, the Knicks’ leading guard and an NBA champion, stepped onto the Saturday Night Live stage this weekend, delivering a monologue while four of his teammates—Karl‑Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby and Josh Hart—watched from the audience. The appearance follows a series of off‑court ventures, including a guest spot on “Law & Order: SVU” and previous SNL hosting duties, underscoring his growing profile beyond the hardwood.
On the court, Brunson continues to be the Knicks’ offensive engine, averaging 26.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists over 74 games while shooting 46.7 percent from the field. New York sits at 53‑29, third in the Eastern Conference and seventh in the league’s power rankings, with a net rating of +6.3. After a recent wrist surgery cleared in the offseason, he remains healthy and central to the team’s push, and fans will be watching how his leadership translates into the next stretch of games as the Knicks aim to improve their recent 6‑4 run in the last ten contests.
