Jalen Brunson returns from ankle sprain as Knicks face Suns 1 | ASL

returned to the New York Knicks’ lineup Sunday against the Phoenix Suns after spraining his right ankle a month ago.

Brunson missed 15 games after he was hurt late in a loss to the Los Angeles on March 6. He practiced fully with the Knicks for the first time since the injury on Friday and was cleared to return Sunday following a pregame workout at Madison Square Garden.

Backup point guard Miles McBride also returned from his eight-game absence with a groin injury, putting the Knicks in good health heading into the final week of the regular season.

They went 9-6 without Brunson, their All-Star point guard and captain, to remain in third place in the Eastern Conference and will secure a second straight 50-win season with one more victory.
