Jalen Brunson was forced to leave the playoff matchup between the New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons with a leg injury, but made a swift return. Late in the third quarter, while trying to advance the ball, he collided with Dennis Schroder, leading to a brief exit from the game. Initially, Brunson struggled to put weight on his right leg and headed to the locker room. However, he was back on the bench during the fourth quarter, showing no visible signs of distress. After only two minutes into the final quarter, he re-entered the game and quickly contributed with a basket, indicating that his injury was not as severe as it initially appeared.
