Martha Stewart: Knicks Star Jalen Brunson Broke My Toe
Martha Stewart revealed that Knicks guard Jalen Brunson accidentally stepped on and broke her toe during New York's 138 135 overtime loss to Indiana in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Stewart told Jimmy Fallon "I have the Brunson fracture. He stepped on my big toe" and said Brunson signed a basketball for her grandchild after the tumble. Merlin sees a quaint courtside mishap that says more about arena chaos than team health. Brunson has been the engine, averaging 28.8 points and 6.4 assists while the Knicks have gone 18 7 and even won the NBA Cup. The toe tale will make headlines, but Brunson's on court work is the story that will shape New York's season.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
Odds of the Knicks reaching the NBA Finals this season: 35%.
