okay - this def qualifies as good news.
Grade 1 is the least significant among graded strains.
The fact that he has a chance to return as soon as next week is an undeniably welcomed update

Knicks’ Jalen Brunson (right ankle sprain) is OUT for tomorrow’s game against Miami.
It’s a grade-1 sprain, per league sources, and he’ll be evaluated daily going forward.

OKC is somehow more dominant this season.
They 12-1 and Jalen Williams has yet to play a single second.
What's even crazier is that the Thunder has FOUR first-round picks in the LOADED 2026 draft, including two projected lottery picks (they own the rights to the Jazz and the Clippers selections)

The ball movement and unselfish sharing that were a hallmark of New York's recent winning streak were missing last night.
In many respects, this game was a regression to the type of ISO-heavy offense that led to bogged-down possessions last season.

the WILD part about the Knicks incredible offensive production early on this season is that BOTH Brunson and Towns have not been scoring efficiently.
KAT post an eFG% last season of 58.4% and he's at 49.0% thus far this season.
JB is shooting just 47% from the floor and 37% from deep

The Knicks are listing Mitchell Robinson as questionable (left ankle injury management) for Tuesday’s game vs. Memphis.
Tuesday is the front end of a back-to back (NY plays Orlando on Wednesday), so he’ll probably sit out one of those two games.
