SNY’s Ian Begley will be responding to Knicks questions from readers. Here’s the latest…
Any news on Jalen Brunson’s recovery? – @topshotta4L
It seems to me like he’ll be ready for training camp. Brunson had surgery in mid-May to repair his broken left hand. During the celebration of his captaincy last week, Brunson didn’t have any visible restrictions on his left hand.
At one point during the proceedings, MSG’s Alan Hahn asked Brunson to give the crowd a thumbs up to show that his hand was in good shape.
Brunson obliged and said “Everything’s good. Everything’s good.”
Brunson added that his hand injury has been ‘the only thing that’s been on my mind since the summer started.’
His rehab, by all accounts, has gone well. So I’d guess he’ll be a full participant in training camp.
(By the way, Patrick Ewing and the Knicks put together a great video to honor Brunson’s captaincy. If you haven’t seen it, here is a link).
Also on the injury front, we reported late last month that Julius Randle’s rehab from right shoulder surgery was going very well. Randle underwent surgery in early April. The Knicks at the time said Randle would be re-evaluated in September. Based on other timelines for shoulder surgery, it would be surprising if Randle were ready for the start of training camp. But if everything progresses well, he should be back on the court for the Knicks’ Oct. 22 season opener or soon thereafter.
Mitchell Robinson is also rehabbing a surgically-repaired injury this offseason. Robinson had surgery in mid-May to repair a stress injury to his left ankle. As of earlier this week, Robinson had not yet been cleared for high-intensity weight-bearing activities during his rehab, per people familiar with the matter. So Robinson has to clear several hurdles before he gets clearance to fully participate in training camp.
Would you only do this because you sort of know you have a deal largely in place to execute later in the season? – @Coach_DHarris
Coach is referencing Precious Achiuwa’s decision to waive the no-trade clause in his 2024-25 contract. I don’t think he did that because the Knicks have a…
