CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The New York Knicks remain hopeful that Jalen Brunson can play in a few games before the postseason. Coach Tom Thibodeau said Thursday that Brunson will be checked again on Friday — two weeks after he suffered an sprained right ankle earlier this month. Thibodeau said Brunson is out of a boot, doing some light shooting and making progress. Thibodeau said he expected Brunson to play before the Knicks' April 13 regular-season finale.
