Brunson has played in 61 games and needs to be in four more to reach the NBA's threshold to be eligible for postseason awards.
Brunson has been out since March 6 due to a sprained right ankle
Brunson has missed New York's last 14 games with a sprained right ankle. Cleared to resume basketball activities on Sunday, the All-Star point guard will practice on Friday. The Knicks are hopeful that Brunson can play over the weekend, with the team visiting Atlanta on Saturday and hosting Phoenix the following day. Delon Wright and Tyler Kolek have handled the point guard responsibilities recently, but both will fall out of the rotation once Brunson, Miles McBride (groin) and Cameron Payne (ankle) return.
Brunson (ankle) is expected to be listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
Jalen Brunson appears on track to return for the end of the regular season.
