Brunson (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Brunson was a game-time decision for Saturday's game due to a lower back contusion, but he was cleared to play after going through pregame warmups. Brunson will have to take on a larger scoring role due to Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) and Cameron Payne (elbow) both being ruled out.
