The injury news regarding Jalen Brunson isn’t all that bad for Knicks fans who saw their point guard depart the Christmas Day loss to the Sixers during the second half. Brunson has a sore hip and is questionable to play against Dallas on Tuesday, the team tweets. Brunson has not missed a game since signing with the Knicks over the summer.
We have more from the Atlantic Division:
- Nets forward Joe Harris had an MRI on his sore left knee which revealed only swelling, Nick Friedell of ESPN tweets. Harris missed his second consecutive game on Monday and will also sit out the road game against Atlanta on Wednesday. The club is hopeful the injury will heal with rest.
- Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck told Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe that he insisted to former Celtics exec and current Jazz CEO Danny Ainge during his coaching search he couldn’t hire both Will Hardy and Joe Mazzulla away from Boston. Ainge, of course, chose Hardy as head coach. Mazzulla became the Celtics’ head man when Ime Udoka was suspended. Ainge was OK with Grousbeck’s demand. “They were very generous to give us permission to talk to them,” he said.
- Raptors forward Precious Achiuwa practiced on Monday and could return sometime this week, Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports tweets. Achiuwa is doubtful for Tuesday’s game against the Clippers. Achiuwa has been out since Nov. 9 with partial ligament tears in his right ankle.
Get healthy Jalen. Forget Dallas.
Randle is from Dallas. He should be traded to Mavs. Be better for him.
And worse for the Mavs…
They have Wood who is a better fit next to Luka… Might be a better player overall as well…
The Mavs have plenty of small ball 5/too big to play the 4 options… They need help in other areas…
What about Fournier or Burks ?
Detroit : Dallas 22 1st pick & Bertans + J.Hardy or/+ Dal 2024/25 2nd picks
NYC : Bogdanovic
Dallas : Burks and Fournier
Better player ?????? yeah ok.
you must know ……..
Wood is starting at C. Randle can play the 4.
Simple. Randle put 41 on Spurs and 29 on Mavs. What 4 do you have.
