New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson is undergoing left wrist surgery after playing through wrist pain and discomfort during the team’s playoff run and NBA championship. Multiple reports describe Brunson as having been hurt while continuing to play, including during the Knicks’ championship run where he earns recognition as Finals MVP. According to ESPN, and echoed by other outlets, Brunson’s recovery timeline includes a return to basketball activities later in the summer. The Athletic similarly reports he is expected to be ready to resume basketball work in the offseason, and at least one report projects readiness for the 2026-27 NBA season. Another outlet notes an expected surgery timing, while all accounts agree the procedure involves his left wrist and that his injury affected his shooting wrist during the postseason. The reports collectively indicate Brunson will miss time following surgery but remains on track, per the reported timetable, to return to basketball activities later in the summer.
