Per Steve Popper of Newsday, Knicks head coach Mike Brown said postgame that Brunson rolled his right ankle in the closing minutes of Wednesday's loss.

Brunson was coming off a game in which he scored a season-low 16 points on 6-of-17 shooting, but he was able to get things back on track with an efficient scoring game. The Knicks have opened the season 5-0 at home, and they'll look to keep that undefeated streak alive Sunday in a Battle of the Boroughs with the Nets.
