The injury occurred late in the third quarter as Brunson attempted to bring the ball up the court. As Detroit guard Dennis Schröder stole the ball, Brunson's leg appeared to get tangled up with his, and he stayed down on the floor in apparent pain.

Surprisingly, the Knicks filed an entirely clean report with the league, with two key starters--Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart--notable for their absence. Both Hart and Brunson were centers of attention late in the Knicks' Game 5 loss at Madison Square Garden, because each went out with just under three minutes to play because of injuries.

Star guard Jalen Brunson could not put weight on his leg after suffering an injury late in the third quarter Sunday.
