And if the team is to continue that streak on June 3, they're going to need a great performance out of star point guard Jalen Brunson.New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (11) | Geoff Burke-Imagn ImagesKnicks fans had to deal with a huge scare in the first half of Game 1, as Brunson appeared to suffer a leg injury in the first quarter and had to go back to the locker room.There wasn't a clear indication of what had happened, but Brunson was clutching his right quad, which made concerns even worse.The good news is that he returned to the game in the second quarter and looks more or less himself after two quarters. — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) June 4, 2026Ali Brunson Makes Instagram Post Before NBA Finals Game 1While every Knicks fan was fearing what happened to Brunson returned, nobody was more worried than his wife, Ali.
