Sources indicate Brunson will require at least two months to recover from the procedure. He played through discomfort in the area during the Knicks’ playoff run, which underscores his resilience and commitment during a demanding postseason stretch.
The anticipated surgery is planned for Tuesday, with reports noting that Brunson will be in a recovery and rehabilitation phase for roughly two months. While the issue was not described as a significant concern, it did impact his play during the finals run.
Will Brunson miss the start of the 2026-27 season?
The 2026-27 NBA season is scheduled to begin in late October, giving Brunson an estimated window of around three and a half months to recover if the two-month timeline is accurate. If he adheres to the expected recovery period, he should be available for the season opener. However, any setback could affect his availability, so his status will be closely watched in the coming weeks.
