The Knicks also put on display, even as they pulled away in this game, why nothing is taken for granted as Brunson collided with Charlotte’s Nick Richards in the third quarter, taking a hard shot to his right side — in the hip area — and remaining in the game for a few more minutes before departing with 2:39 left in the third. He went straight to the locker room. When the period ended his father, Knicks assistant coach Rick Brunson, went back to the locker room, too, and Jalen finally emerged with 6:29 left in the game, returning to the bench with a wrap around his torso and listed as available.
