MASSIVE Update for the New York Knicks…

MASSIVE Update for the New York Knicks…

Ian Begley has just announced that Jaylen Bronson is going to be okay so we have to talk about this what’s up guys welcome back to Nick’s digest it’s Chris here and we’re going to waste no time jumping right into it because you may have heard good news about Jaylen

Bronson already after what looked like it could have been some sort of knee injury but it was one not a non- contct knee injury which is massive and also he’s just fine he is going to be questionable for tomorrow’s game I think they should sit we’ll get into that in a

Minute but really let’s just look at what Begley just announced League sources say Jaylen Brunson will be listed as questionable for tomorrow’s game against the Hawks with a left knee contusion Brunson avoided a serious knee injury and that was the hope Following last night’s game in Cleveland Look

Obviously the Knicks are injury riddled beyond belief Julius randle’s out with the shoulder dislocation ogan noi’s out with the elbow operation and Mitchell Robinson is recovering from foot surgery from what was most like a stress related foot injury something he has dealt with a lot throughout his career but none of

Them as great as they are especially Julius Randall the two-time all NBA player three-time Allstar all with the Knicks that is none of them are nearly as important as Jaylen Brunson we all know this we know who the best player on the team is we know who the face of the

New York Knicks is we know who the near NBA superstar is on the New York Knicks it’s Bronson and obviously ly keeping him healthy is the number one concern the Knicks have been riddled with injuries and Bronson has had some minor injuries here and there I mean he’s a

Physical player he plays a lot of minutes and though I don’t love the amount of minutes he plays let’s be honest it’s not fully on tibs the Knicks cannot function without Randle or Brunson on the court that’s been the case a lot this year even with the new

Look Nicks that they’ve kind of come up with over the last few months we had the Run of Our Lives early in January and throughout all of January with the Knicks just balling out but then health concerns just popped up Randle shoulder popped out of place because haime hakz

Did not give him Landing room and really things have just gone poorly Isaiah hartenstein has been kind of in and out with this Achilles injury but Brunson for the most part has been here and been a soldier for the Knicks and then he went down with an injury and it

Looked really bad it didn’t looked like there was contact from the angle of the broadcast but there was he did kind of tap knees with someone and though it was just that it’s why he was dragging his foot and we are going to get into that a

Little bit so what tibs said after the x-rays return negatives on his knee he said he bumped knees that’s what happened he got x-rays he was examined by the doctor everything was negative we’ll see where he is tomorrow said Tom Tibido now if you go back and watch the

Play you can see that right as brunson’s jumping you you could tell that’s when he’s in pain like clearly something happened before the jump and that is that he collided knes and that is what caused that kind of floppy foot thing that people were worried about as he was

Dragging his foot behind him but I’ll be honest when I saw that I was less concerned because that doesn’t happen with like an ACL it doesn’t happen with a blown Achilles your foot isn’t dragging behind you you’re not walking like that you’re not unable to walk like

That because of a blown muscle if you blow out your ACL I’m going to show you guys my knee my bad knee that is if you blow out your ACL your leg is going to lock like this so there you go for anyone who’s interested in my knees

There’s a look your leg is just going to lock that is what happens that is the sign of injured muscles it’s the same thing that happens with your Achilles I’m not going to bring my foot onto camera because I just am not that flexible if I’m being honest and really

The floppy foot thing made less of a concern because it appears what happened is he banged knees and he had the unfortunate luck of essentially like a button being pressed that turns your ankle off which is called The Perennial nerve which is on the outside of your knee right over here in this

Area so we’re going to break this down a little bit what one of the Twitter doctors said and a real medical doctor not just someone on Twitter making assumptions because they watched one of the 10 billion medical TV shows current on Netflix but he said that this is very

Very reassuring his lateral knee gets hit right before Jaylen Brunson jumps could have cause a perennial nerve contusion which gives you dead leg and you’re not able to lift your ankle up this is a days to week injury usually and this is common in sports but not

Basketball which is the weird thing for the most part if you’re hearing perennial nerve you’re thinking MMA and potentially soccer but I don’t know enough about soccer and they have the shenard so I don’t know if that’s I don’t know anything about soccer guys um but essentially if you get kicked in the

Leg enough especially in the calf leg area where a lot of kicks are thrown in mixed martial arts there’s a chance of your perennial nerve getting turned off and essentially you just can’t use your leg and you become severely immobile and you probably are about to lose a fight if that

Happens now a doctor explained it Brian suder I just botched his name on Twitter you could look it up this is the video that came up I believe I linked it in the comment section below one of my most recent videos I’ll put it in this one

Also just cuz I am using his thumbnail I’m using his title for this bit so I am obviously going to give him the credit he deserves it’s a great injury or a great video on brunson’s injury and something to note with what happened is he talks a lot about how there was no

Like tibial reaction which would signify a ligament injury like remember that video recently for all you football fans of Aaron roders when he blew his Achilles on my New York Jets and cuz he stepped back and you saw his calf just like pop kind of and the same thing with

Kevin Durant when he spotted up to take that shot against the Warriors in 2019 you could see like the back of his calf like do some weird like shift thing that is the sign of blowing a muscle it happens with whatever muscle there’s going to be a reaction on your leg

Somewhere because of that and we didn’t get that with Jaylen Bronson all right now I’m gonna for a quick second mention why Brunson specifically and the New York Knicks and all of this and why it means this doesn’t make any sense right now because I’m trying to think about how to

Word this I should have done this before the video but Brunson shouldn’t rush back to play I understand where we’re at but also look at the NBA standings they’re literally at the bottom of your screen right here right below the New York letters and my name see we’re

Fourth right now at 36 and 25 we just beat the Cavs with our bench because the Cavs are frauds Philly is 35 and 25 and embiid might be back I would rather play you know not the 76ers the Miami Heat can easily climb in the sings they’re on

A roll right now and so can the Indiana Pacers I’d rather play the magic I mean if embiid’s not going to come back then yeah I want Philly but there’s a real chance we’re getting that third seed and playing the Cavs or getting the seed where we could play someone like that or

Even the Bucks might not be the worst thing in the world it’s not like we’re going to have to run into the Celtics and as a four seed we are going to have to deal with the Celtics if we get to the second round which is obviously my

Big concern for this but also just because brunson’s too important to the Knicks let’s not rush him back and The Perennial Nerf is not something you can keep damaging it only happens if you make contact with it but still let’s not uh Rush Brunson back until we know

He’s fully healthy and ready to go we’re already injury-prone as it is that’s not going to change now if you look about at the New York Nicks current situation right here Julius Randall is expected to be out till March 12th same as ogan and

Obi so they will be back in N9 days from now while Mitchell Robinson will be back around the March 23rd date is when this is all their expected returns I don’t think randle’s actually going to be back March 12th I think he’ll be later I could see that for OG though so that

Would be huge basically the Knicks are already so injury prone it’s the time when we’re just like all right we’re already in a pretty bad situation losing Jaylen Brunson Now does not make like the world and if we miss him for a week I don’t want Brunson to

Be injured and I want him to be ready to go for the playoffs so maybe you know not coming back after getting hurt and playing 40 minutes a night is going to be the best idea for him to do instantly maybe he should slowly kind of come back

From what’s a minor injury just to keep a precaution on the best player the Knicks have had since as of right now Carmelo Anthony and could very well be the greatest Nick of all time as Darielle and I have both mentioned so I don’t really want Brunson to rush back

At at all but we’re going to have to see what’s going to happen if Brunson want if brunson’s healthy he’s going to want to play It’s the type of guy he is and you can’t tell Jaylen Brunson know we’re sitting yet and that’s fine now something else to know with this

Perennial nerve is how much of a freak incident it is for those of you who do watch the UFC such as myself I talk about this a lot that I’m a big fan of the sport this guy the current champion of the 135 PB division which is known as

Bantamweight I don’t know how many of you guys are MMA fans like oh my God shut up we know but some people don’t know so relax but that that guy his name I almost said that name that guy is sha omali he has one loss in his career and

It is to the guy who he actually coincidentally will be fighting on Saturday to defend now what is his championship that he won back in August after he suffered his loss a few years after he suffered his loss to a guy named Marlin Vera who kicked Al’s

Perennial nerve now om Ali said he doesn’t count it as a loss because of how freak of an incident it is it hardly ever happens and let me tell you guys something it looked so similar to what happened with Brunson om Ali was trying to move the man has amazing footwork

He’s trying to like take like a little bit of a Stutter Step just say is a a a mobile Target so he’s harder for Vera to hit and he just kept losing his balance and falling over his foot and the announcers were saying oh his foot is

Screwed up what is happening right now and a eventally what was written is that Midway through the opening round a leg kick appeared to connect with om Al’s perennial nerve causing a rare instance of drop foot which other UFC fighters have notably suffered from in the past

Now look now that is exactly what happened to Brunson he had that drop foot thing it just means you can’t control your ankle and your ankle’s just numb it goes numb you can’t put weight on it think about it this way have you ever like sat on your foot like you ever

Like sitting in a weird position where you’re like sitting on your foot or something and then then you stand up and your foot’s asleep and it’s like oh okay I can walk but it’s like I’m walking awkwardly almost like I I’m not really like able to put weight on I’m walking

Like I’m 89 years old or something it’s like Drop foot’s a more severe case of that that’s all it is it’s just a weird nerve thing and then you’re fine your nerve is being pinched off that’s all that’s happening and then the pressure comes off of it and then you could walk

I guarantee brunson’s just walking around living life right now he’s fine dude’s just hanging out doing his thing maybe a little sore but he’s just doing his thing he’s completely fine guaranteed the man’s just walking around probably practicing the same amount maybe taking it a little easy just

Because of the freak accident but everything’s going to be okay for Jaylen Brunson and this video was longer than I expected so make sure to subscribe to Nick’s digest comment down below your thoughts should the Knicks take it easy with Brunson coming back kind of Vamp

Him back up slowly even though it was just a minor injury or should he just get thrown right back into the fire do you guys think the Knicks staying as a four seed is ideal because obviously we can climb up but and I’m not advertising to lose

Games because then we’ll end up in the playin but I’m just saying we don’t need to win every single game at this point of the season when there’s still around 20 games left if we miss Brunson for the next two to three games everything will

Be fine let me know Down Below guys have a great day go Nicks

Jalen Brunson is only day-to-day after a scary injury last night and Chris Gallagher breaks it down.
