Is Jalen Brunson going to play in the Knicks' game against the Wizards after dealing with right calf tightness?

Since arriving in New York two years ago, Jalen Brunson has quickly become the Knicks' best player and leader. It was moments like Saturday night's contest against the lowly Washington Wizards that showed just how important Brunson is to the team - both on and off the court.

So what should’ve been an easy evening turned into a dogfight for the Knicks, who required 55 points from Jalen Brunson to squeak out Saturday’s 136-132 overtime win. Brunson was a scoring machine with his double-nickel, collecting his third game with 50 or more points since last season.
