Story summary

Jalen Brunson, captain of the New York Knicks, announced during a live podcast on Thursday that he is "fully cleared" to play after undergoing surgery in early July for a tendon issue in his left shooting wrist. Despite playing through the injury during the playoffs where he earned NBA Finals MVP honors, Brunson spent much of the summer in a cast but is now ready as training camp starts Tuesday in Tarrytown. The news was cheered by fans at Icahn Stadium in Randall’s Island during the third annual Roommates Show Block Party hosted by Brunson and teammate Josh Hart. The event celebrated the team's title win, with discussions including mentions from guests like Jose Alvarado and Landry Shamet about how New York went into "chaos" despite clinching their victory in San Antonio.

🔮 Assistant coach Chris Jent will be away from the team for an undisclosed period of time for personal reasons, The Post has learned.
🔮 Brown said Drummond will remain the first backup in Tuesday’s game against the Pistons.
🔮 Those will eventually fall.
🔮 It’s only No. 33 for Ewing, No. 15 for Dick McGuire and a lot of champions — the combined starting lineups of 1970 and 1973, plus the coach: No. 10 Walt Frazier, No. 19 Willis Reed, No. 12 Dick Barnett, No. 22 Dave DeBusschere, No. 24 Bill Bradley, No. 613 for Red Holzman’s career victories.

🔮 Coach Mike Brown said he would revisit Towns as the hub this season and Thursday’s evidence was on display early.
🔮 Drew Eubanks, a veteran center, suffered a torn pectoral muscle and will be waived by New York, a source confirmed Thursday morning.
🔮 We’ll keep watching film and keep drilling it and all that other stuff.” Tony Bradley (10 points in seven minutes, 5-for-5 from the field) and Pacôme Dadiet (seven points, 2-for-3 from long distance) were efficient for the Knicks off the bench. None of the starters are expected to play Tuesday in Toronto, which is the second half of a back-to-back.
🔮 “As a result, we will not be negotiating contract extensions until later in the season and will remain solely focused on preparing for the start of the season.”
🔮 They needed to go fill their cup, however that may be,” Brown said.
