Knicks' Jalen Brunson Has 'Zero Pain' in Hand amid Concern After WWE SmackDown Cameo
July 5, 2024
New York Knicks star guard Jalen Brunson said on the Roommates Show that he has "no pain" in his surgically repaired broken left hand amid concerns following his recent WWE SmackDown cameo (conversation begins at 51-minute mark).
To rewind a bit, Brunson appeared on the June 28 edition of SmackDown at New York's Madison Square Garden. Brunson and WWE Superstar LA Knight confronted Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton and Logan Paul in the ring.
Brunson grabbed a steel chair and slid in the ring. As he got up, he motioned to (and stretched out) his left hand, perhaps worrying some Knicks fans about a potential re-injury or concern that all was not well. Brunson admitted on the show that he freestyled that part.
It turns out everything is just fine, though, as Brunson calmed all fears and said he is feeling no pain.
Brunson suffered the injury in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against Indiana, which took place on May 19. He did admit he has no strength in his hand right now, although thankfully, the season is still well over three months away, giving him enough time to recuperate.
