Jalen Brunson, Bojan Bogdanovic Undergo Successful Surgeries

May 22, 2024 9:22 AM

The New York Knicks announced that Jalen Brunson and Bojan Bogdanovic have both undergone successful surgeries for their respective injuries.

Brunson had surgery on a fractured left hand. He'll be re-evaluated in six-to-eight weeks. This injury and subsequent surgery will likely keep Brunson from being a potential injury replacement for Team USA at the Summer Olympics.

Bogdanovic underwent surgery for ligament damage in his left wrist. Bogdanovic is also recovering from surgery on his left foot. He'll be re-evaluated in six-to-eight weeks after the wrist surgery. Bogdanovic is likely to miss the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in early-July for the Croatian National Team.

OG Anunoby, Josh Hart Both On Track To Play In Game 7

May 19, 2024 12:19 PM

The New York Knicks may be healthier than they have been in weeks for Game 7 against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday afternoon. OG Anunoby and Josh Hart are both likely to play in the deciding game in New York.

Anunoby has been out since suffering a hamstring strain in Game 2 of the series on May 8. He's worked tirelessly to be able to play, and now it appears Anunoby will make his return after missing about a week-and-a-half.

Hart had an abdominal strain early in Game 6. He attempted to play through the injury initially, but was ruled out later in the game. Hart has been a key player for New York, playing the entirety of several games during this playoff run.

May 18, 2024 7:44 PM

Jamal Murray was limited by a right elbow injury during the Denver Nuggets Game 6 blowout loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The good news for the Nuggets is that the injury doesn't seem to be carrying over to the do-or-die Game 7.

After practice ahead of Game 7 in Denver, Murray stayed late to get up extra shots. Nuggets coach Michael Malone said that Murray "feels great" and that his star guard "looked very hungry today".

"Look like he hadn't eaten in two days," Malone said about Murray. "So hopefully that carries over tomorrow. I hope he doesn't eat until tomorrow until 6:00 p.m."

Kristaps Porzingis Expected To Miss First Two Games Of East Finals

May 17, 2024 9:22 PM

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis is likely to miss Games 1 and 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Porzingis is rehabbing from a strained right calf.

The Celtics are awaiting the winner of the New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers series. The Eastern Conference Finals is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, May 21. Game 2 is scheduled for Thursday, May 23.

Porzingis was injured in Game 4 of the first-round series against the Miami Heat. The Celtics went on to win that series in five games. Then, Boston was without their starting center for the entire five-game victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round.

The Celtics have continued to express optimism that Porzingis would return at some point in the playoffs. Now, it looks like that return may come in the middle of the Eastern Conference Finals.
