NEW YORK — Jalen Brunson wouldn't reveal much about the shoulder injury that forced him to leave in the third quarter Sunday. He was able to return and finished with 44 points in a 140-106 rout of the Milwaukee Bucks. Brunson tied Carmelo Anthony for third place with his 17th 40-point game as a Knicks player. Only Hall of Famers Patrick Ewing and Bernard King remain ahead of him. Coach Tom Thibodeau said the injury was a shoulder stinger. Brunson told reporters they would need to ask the doctors for clarification and check the injury report Monday to see if he would be able to play that night against Detroit.
