Brunson Says He Is Cleared After Wrist Surgery

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson said he has been fully cleared after offseason surgery on his left wrist, offering a recovery update ahead of training camp. The statement came during a live taping of his Roommates Show podcast in New York on Thursday, September 24, according to reports of the event. Brunson said he had surgery this offseason and was fully cleared. The update was his own account; the available reports did not include a separate medical assessment or specify what evaluation supported the clearance. It also did not establish whether he would have any limitations during camp. Brunson underwent the procedure in July after playing through a wrist problem during the Knicks’ championship run. He later described a tendon in his left wrist snapping over the bone when he shot. The Knicks won the 2026 NBA title, their first since 1973, and Brunson was named Finals MVP. He averaged 26 points, 6.8 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 74 regular-season games in 2025-26, then averaged 28.4 points during the playoffs, according to the reports.
