SAN ANTONIO — When Jalen Brunson went down in Los Angeles a little over a week ago, with his ankle turned in the opposite direction, all eyes shifted toward Mikal Bridges as the man who needed to step up in his absence.

Jalen Brunson is out at least another week, but Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said he is making “good, steady progress.”

The New York Knicks have lost their way a bit with Jalen Brunson sidelined with an injury. The superstar guard went down with a sprained ankle as the Knicks were taking on the Los Angeles Lakers, which will leave him sidelined until late in the regular season.
