Brunson has been arguably one of the best players in the entire NBA Playoffs. He scored 39 or more points in the five previous games while leading the Knicks past the Philadelphia 76ers and winning Game 1 against the Pacers.
Brunson had just five points in Game 2 while he was a perfect 2-for-2 from the field when he left the game.
The Knicks find themselves down 73-63 to the Pacers at halftime while they wait to see if Brunson can return to the game.
This story will be updated.
