New York Knicks star point guard Jalen Brunson left Madison Square Garden in a walking boot and crutches following the team's 124-107 loss to the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, according to James L. Edwards III of The Athletic.

As he drove through the paint in the fourth quarter of what would eventually be a 124–107 New York loss to the Magic, the star guard collided with Orlando center Wendell Carter Jr. as he attempted a layup. He then fell to the floor, immediately grabbed his right leg, and was slow to get up before being helped to his feat by teammates.
