Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart of the New York Knicks experienced minor injuries in Game 5 of their playoff series against the Detroit Pistons, but both are optimistic about their availability for Game 6. Brunson suffered an ankle injury while Hart dealt with a wrist issue, yet they quickly returned to the bench after initial concerns. Unfortunately, the coach’s timeout management caused them to miss critical late-game moments as the Knicks lost 106-103, highlighting strategic challenges in high-pressure situations during playoff games.
I'm all good, Brunson curtly stated following the game.
I just needed to regroup, walk it off, and try to go back in, Hart added.
That stoppage never came, as Brunson and Hart were forced to watch from the sidelines as the Pistons opened up a six-point lead.
You're looking at time, score, the penalty, timeouts, all of the above... There's a lot that goes into it.
