NBA Finals MVP to Undergo Wrist Surgery

New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson, fresh off leading his team to an NBA championship, is set to undergo wrist surgery, ESPN reports.

The 29-year-old guard, who was named the NBA Finals MVP, played through a left wrist injury during the playoffs and will require surgery before the start of the new season.

Brunson averaged 32.6 points, 4.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds, and 2 steals across the five games of the Finals series, which New York clinched 4-3 against the San Antonio Spurs.

According to ESPN, Jalen Brunson is expected to resume training later this summer and will be fully recovered before the new campaign tips off in October, when the Knicks will begin their defense of their first title in 53 years.
