Back-to-Back Matchups with Washington
This marked the second meeting in three nights for the two teams. The Knicks (23-10) triumphed on Saturday in a high-scoring overtime thriller, edging out the Wizards 136-132 behind Jalen Brunson’s season-high 55 points.
Wizards Face Challenges with Injuries
The Wizards (5-25) struggled without their leading scorer, Jordan Poole, who missed his second game due to a bruised left hip. While Kyle Kuzma returned to action after a 12-game absence with a rib injury, Washington relied on Jonas Valanciunas, who matched his season-high with 22 points, along with Alex Sarr and Malcolm Brogdon, who each contributed 18 points.
A frightening moment occurred in the third quarter when rookie guard Bub Carrington fell backward, colliding with a Knicks player’s knee and hitting his head on the court. Carrington exited in a wheelchair and was diagnosed with a post-traumatic headache.
