The Knicks ruled out their All-Star point guard about 40 minutes before the game, with the team looking for a ninth straight victory.

Brunson scored a season-high 55 points in a win at Washington on Saturday but then struggled to a 6-for-17 shooting performance two nights later in the rematch.

Cam Payne started at point guard in his place.

The Knicks are in third place in the Eastern Conference, six games behind the Cleveland Cavaliers in first.
