Jalen Brunson: “Yeah, we’re short-handed but that doesn’t matter right now. We have what we have and we need to go forward with that. There is no ‘we’re short-handed.’ There’s no excuse. There’s no excuse whatsoever.” Full quote: pic.twitter.com/1L1czTiQuL – 6:56 PM

“He says he’s fine so… he’ll keep going,” Tom Thibodeau says when asked if Jalen Brunson’s foot injury is impacting him. Knicks-Pacers is now a 3-game series after NYK’s 32-point loss in Game 4. – 6:17 PM

Daquan Jeffries is set to check in at the start of the fourth qaurter with Knicks down 38. Have to think Jalen Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Hart and Isaiah Hartenstein are done for the day. – 5:27 PM

OG Anunoby hasn’t started running yet.
“Just pool work,” Tom Thibodeau said. – 2:07 PM

OG Anunoby has not started running yet as he rehabs his hamstring strain, Tom Thibodeau says. Thibodeau says he’s doing ‘pool work.’ – 2:07 PM

Rare loss for Tom Thibodeau, whose challenge is unsuccessful on the out of bounds call on Jalen Brunson. Pacers ball, and they lead, 100-99, with 4:23 to go in the fourth. – 9:29 PM

How unhinged is Tom Thibodeau? Alec Burks has played the entire second quarter after only playing 44 seconds through the first 8 games of the playoffs. Can’t blame him. Burks is the hot hand with 10 points in the period. – 8:12 PM

Knicks are doing more switching than I can ever recall from a Tom Thibodeau team. – 7:29 PM

Ian Begley @IanBegley
Jalen Brunson will warm up & “we’ll see” about his status for Game 3, Tom Thibodeau said. Brunson made it through shootaround this AM. He was walking without a limp here at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Based on that & what Thibodeau said, it’s clear Brunson is trending toward playing – 5:40 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatz
Tom Thibodeau on if he would start Josh Hart on Siakam:
“We could.”
On if he would rather deal with the Pacers trapping but having the defense or prioritize spacing:
“We could.”
I tried. – 5:38 PM

Jalen Brunson will warm up and the Knicks will see how he feels from there, Tom Thibodeau said. Brunson went through shootaround this morning. – 5:34 PM
