Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Scores 12 points in preseason loss Monday
Rotowire
Brunson registered 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 15 minutes in Monday's 120-97 preseason loss to the 76ers.
Brunson reached double figures despite playing only during the first half, but most importantly, he was able to handle the workload with no issues after undergoing left wrist surgery in the offseason. The Knicks have little reason to push their star point guard during exhibition play, and it shouldn't be surprising if Brunson continues to see limited playing time throughout the preseason.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Will be ready for camp
Rotowire
Brunson (wrist) is expected to be ready for training camp, ESPN's Vincent Goodwill reports.
"Brunson is at about 80 to 85 percent after the wrist surgery that he had in July," Goodwill said. "He'll have no restrictions when training camp begins in a couple of weeks." Brunson had surgery back in early July following New York's championship run, but his status for Opening Night was never in any real doubt.
Brunson is set to undergo surgery on his left wrist/forearm area Tuesday and is expected to require at least two months of rehab, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Brunson reportedly played through discomfort in this area during the Knicks' Finals run, and he'll undergo surgery before training camp begins in the fall. The superstar point guard is coming off an impressive postseason that culminated in a championship and Finals MVP honors. Over five Finals appearances against the Spurs, he averaged 32.6 points, 4.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 39.0 minutes per showing.
