They currently sit as the No. 3 seed and should remain in the spot barring collapse over the final games of the regular season. They have accomplished that feat despite a late-season sprained ankle suffered by their star player, Jalen Brunson, in a March 5 showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers.

The New York Knicks have been treading water since Jalen Brunsonsprained his ankle on March 6 against the Los Angeles Lakers. They are 6-5 without their All-Star point guard and still holding off the surging Indiana Pacers for the No.

New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson said Sunday afternoon that his goal is to return before the end of the regular season.
