Jalen Brunson has been omitted from the Knicks' injury report ahead of Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Spurs, scheduled for Friday night. Brunson experienced an ankle scare during the first game, which the Knicks won after outscoring the Spurs by 17 points in the second half. He scored 30 points with 19 coming in the final period, leading to concern when he limped off the court earlier in the match. However, his absence from the injury report suggests he is fit to continue playing.
