He already managed to return to the bench to start the second quarter.
Brunson sustained the injury after Harrison Barnes accidentally hit his knee upon landing from Landry Shamet's body contact with two minutes left in the first quarter.
Brunson subsequently grabbed his right knee and was hobbling before the Knicks ultimately called a timeout to put him out of Wednesday's game.
Brunson is having a rough night so far in his Finals debut, tallying three points in 1-of-7 shooting across 11 minutes.
