Jalen Brunson has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Western Conference's top seed with a calf injury. Leading up to the game, Brunson was considered questionable with the same injury that cost him to miss the team's first game of 2025 earlier in the week.

Jalen Brunson won't play for the New York Knicks against Utah on Wednesday night because of right calf tightness.

For the game, the Knicks could be without one of their best players, as All-Star point guard Jalen Brunson is on the injury report. Brunson is averaging 25.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 7.6 assists per contest while shooting 48.
