Reporting for ABC NBA Countdown -- Knicks' Jalen Brunson expected out through late March/early April, and fallout from Mikal Bridges and Tom Thibodeau meeting:

As long as Brunson is back soon enough to play a couple games to get his rhythm and conditioning back before the playoffs, him missing meaningless regular season games (and more chances to get hurt) isn't really a bad thing.

🏀 "The kids love it. I have kids fighting over who can get here earliest to get shots off before school." – Coach Garrison When passion meets performance, Noah Backboard makes it happen. Turn practice into obsession with shot-tracking that players can’t get enough of.

Yea knicks might lose that 3 seed man.

Get well soon Jalen, you kept me on the edge of my seat that last game Rest up and do that again to Boston soon please

NO FCKING WAY! My Fantasy Basketball Team is entering playoffs and I need Brunson back 😡😡😡 This is your fault, Thibs

Oh no. Knicks postseason run could be over before it starts. They got no shot vs Boston or Cleveland anyway

@ESPNNBA At least Brunson has some time to heal up before the Playoffs.

Announce Brandon Ingram returning

@espn Leave it to the Knicks to turn a sprained ankle into a soap opera. Jalen’s out, Mikal’s whining, and Thibs is probably still yelling “Ice!” at a liberal snowflake.

mikal bridges was always the number one knick

Thats 3 weeks, who cares? Look who they play between now and then....
