Brunson has been
diagnosed with a left hand fracture and won't return to Sunday's Game 7 against the Pacers.
ANALYSISBrunson finishes Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with 17 points (6-17 FG) and nine assists in 29 minutes. The Pacers hold a commanding double-digit lead, but even if the Knicks pull off a comeback and extend their season, Brunson would presumably miss extended time due to the injury.
Alec Burks and
Miles McBride are candidates for increased minutes in Brunson's absence.
