Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Green light to play vs. Detroit

Brunson (shoulder) is available for Monday's game against the Pistons, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Brunson injured his right shoulder early in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Bucks, but he was able to return and finished with 44 points, six assists, five rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes. He was initially listed as questionable for the second leg of the Knicks' back-to-back set Monday, but Brunson has done enough throughout the day to be cleared to play. Since Jan. 1, he has averaged 27.2 points, 6.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals over 34.3 minutes per contest.
