Brunson (ankle) is available to return in Tuesday's game against Philadelphia, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
Brunson walked back to the locker room under his own power on the first possession of the second half, and he has been deemed available to return in the third quarter. The superstar should be able to shoulder his normal workload the rest of the way in a tight matchup.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Headed to locker room
Brunson walked off under his own power to the locker room with 11:47 remaining in the third quarter of Tuesday's game versus the 76ers after turning his ankle on Caleb Martin's foot, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Brunson exited Tuesday's contest after injuring his ankle on the opening possession of the second half. If the star guard is unable to return, Miles McBride, Cameron Payne and Tyler Kolek are all candidates to receive increased playing time.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Good to go Tuesday
McBride (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Stefan Bondy of The New York Post reports.
McBride is dealing with left knee inflammation, though he will play through it and seemingly shoulder his normal workload off the bench in the club's first NBA Cup matchup. The 24-year-old has been the Knicks' top option off the bench through nine regular-season outings, during which he has averaged 11.2 points, 2.7 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.1 steals while shooting 44.0 percent across 26.8 minutes per game.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Dealing with knee inflammation
McBride is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to left knee inflammation.
McBride shook off an illness and played Sunday, posting seven points, one rebound, one assist and two steals in 29 minutes off the bench during a loss to Indiana. However, he's now dealing with a knee injury and could be sidelined for the first half of a back-to-back set. Cameron Payne (hamstring) is also questionable, and if both backup guards are sidelined, rookie Tyler Kolek would likely be the next man up.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Double-doubles in loss
Hart accumulated 16 points (7-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 43 minutes during Sunday's 132-121 loss to the Pacers.
This was Hart's fourth double-double of the campaign. His rebounding is usually his calling card, but his playmaking has been through the roof in November. Over his last five outings, he's averaging 6.4 assists per game.

Knicks' OG Anunoby: Erupts for 25 points
Anunoby posted 25 points (9-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Sunday's 132-121 loss to the Pacers.
Anunoby's 25 points were a new season-high mark, as his strong play in November continued. Over his last five outings, the forward has posted averages of 19.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 3.0 three-pointers. He's been red hot from beyond the arc, hitting 48.4 percent of his attempts in that stretch.

Knicks' Mikal Bridges: Held in check
Bridges closed with eight points (4-11 FG, 0-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and one block over 42 minutes during Sunday's 132-121 loss to the Pacers.
For the first time in nine outings, Bridges was held to single-digit points. It was certainly a night to forget, as Bridges missed all six of his three-point attempts. He's currently on pace to hit a career-low from beyond the arc with a 31.7 percent mark, but some positive regression should be on the horizon.

Knicks' Jalen Brunson: Pours in 33 points
Brunson notched 33 points (11-17 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-12 FT), six rebounds and 10 assists in 41 minutes during Sunday's 132-121 loss to Indiana.
This was one of Brunson's best performances of the season, but it wasn't enough as the Knicks fell to 4-5 on the season. Brunson has stepped it up a notch in November, posting averages of 26.8 points, 7.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.6 three-pointers in his last five games.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Warming up Sunday
McBride (illness) is officially listed as questionable, but he's warming up with the intention of playing Sunday against the Pacers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Despite coming off the bench, McBride has averaged 26.5 minutes per game, so his potential absence would've been a huge blow, especially with Cameron Payne (hamstring) still out. It appears McBride will try to play through the illness, but his effectiveness could take a hit.

Knicks' Cameron Payne: Questionable vs. Indiana
Payne (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.
Payne has missed three games in a row due to a left hamstring strain, and it seems the floor general doesn't have a clear date for his return. The questionable tag leaves the door open for a potential return Sunday, but even if he's available, he shouldn't see heavy minutes off the bench.
