It isn’t Willis Reed coming out of the tunnel in Game 7, but it might as well be, as Jalen Brunson overcame a foot injury to lift the New York Knicks to victory in Game 2.
He left the game in the first quarter and ruled questionable to return with what was reported as a “sore right foot” by the team’s PR.
Brunson returned for the second half, scoring 24 points on 9-of-16 shooting en route to another nail-biter win for the Knicks.
