Knicks Notes: Jalen Brunson talks wrist rehab, complimentary remarks from LeBron James

During a media briefing on the second day of team workouts, star point guard Jalen Brunson addressed his recovery from summer wrist surgery and expressed gratitude for recent praise from league peers LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Brunson explained that while his rehabilitation mirrored his recovery from a previous hand fracture, the recent procedure required a longer duration in a cast and delayed his shooting regimen.

Despite missing his typical offseason preparation following a postseason run that culminated in a championship and Finals MVP honors, the guard confirmed he has received full clearance for the upcoming campaign.

At the same briefing, James discussed his offseason considerations, revealing he contemplated joining the franchise before ultimately committing to the Philadelphia 76ers. James lauded Brunson as exceptional, while Antetokounmpo categorized him among the premier talents in the league.

Head coach Mike Brown also participated in the session alongside Brunson to discuss the team's preparations and upcoming schedule.
