Nov. 13 (UPI) -- New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson sustained a right ankle injury and departed in the fourth quarter of a 124-107 loss to the Orlando Magic.
Brunson injured the ankle with about two minutes remaining in the setback Wednesday in New York. He exited with 1:52 left on the game clock.
"He turned his right ankle," Knicks coach Mike Brown told reporters. "That's all I know."
The Knicks trailed 115-99 at the time of the injury sequence. Brunson dribbled over half court before dashing into the paint. He then picked up his dribble and coasted toward the rim, but stepped on center/forward Wendell Carter Jr.'s left foot in the process. Brunson's right ankle bent awkwardly when he made contact with Carter.
The All-Star guard briefly stayed on the ground before walking off the court and into the locker room.
Brunson totaled a game-high 31 points, with six assists and three rebounds in the loss. He averaged 28 points, 6.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game through his first 11 starts this season.
Magic forward Franz Wagner totaled 28 points, nine rebounds and four assists in the victory. Magic guard Desmond Bane chipped in 22 points, eight assists and six rebounds.
The Magic also lost forward Paolo Banchero to a groin strain in the victory. Banchero logged four points, four rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block in 12 minutes of action. He left the game in the second quarter.
The Knicks (7-4) will host the Miami Heat (7-5) in the NBA Cup at 7 p.m. EST Friday in New York. The Magic (6-6) will host the Brooklyn Nets (1-10) in the NBA Cup at 7 p.m. Friday in Orlando, Fla.
