Sep 25 (Field Level Media) – New York Knicks star Jalen Brunson said ​he is “fully cleared” to ‌return following offseason wrist surgery.

The All-Star point guard had a procedure on his left wrist in July after ‌leading ​New York to ⁠its first title ⁠in 53 years.

Brunson, 30, confirmed his readiness during an appearance Thursday on his “Roommates Show” on ​YouTube.

“As you guys know, I had surgery this offseason, and ⁠I just wanted ⁠to tell you guys ​that I am fully cleared,” he ​told the crowd during a ‌live taping at Randall’s Island Park in New York City.

The 2026 Finals MVP averaged a ⁠playoff-high 28.4 points in the Knicks’ 16-3 playoff march to the championship.

Brunson averaged ⁠26.0 ‌points, 6.8 assists and ⁠3.3 rebounds in 74 ​games (all ‌starts) during the 2025-26 ​regular season.

The ⁠Knicks’ preseason opener is Oct. 5 at Philadelphia. They open the regular season at home against the 76ers on Oct. 20.
