Dec 9, 2024; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (11) and forward OG Anunoby (8) react after a three point basket by center Karl-Anthony Towns (32) to clinch a win over the Toronto Raptors during the second half at Scotiabank Arena.

This is at once a justifiable and short-sighted way of viewing things. Yes, the Knicks' defense versus elite opponents with Brunson and KAT on the floor is a larger concern. But that issue invariably decreases their margin for error on the offensive end.

Now that he's back on the floor, New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson doesn't want to miss a thing. Brunson made it clear that, if it's up to him, he'll be partaking in at least the Knicks' next two games.
