That’s why Jalen Brunson (No. 4) and Victor Wembanyama (6) are high risers this week on the Kia MVP Ladder, which reflects their role in helping the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs reach the Emirates NBA Cup championship game.

Martha Stewart recently opened up about an offbeat incident where Knicks guard Jalen Brunson fell on her foot and accidentally broke her toe. The 84-year-old retail businesswoman revealed this during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

New York entered the fourth quarter down six to Indiana, but came back to win on a Jalen Brunson 3-pointer (and an OG Anunoby steal to seal it). Brunson shot 1-of-5 in the fourth quarter before that game-winner — he is the reigning Clutch Player of the Year for a reason.

The New York Knicks are rolling right now. Fresh off winning the 2025 NBA Cup, the New York Knicks picked up their 6th win in a row after defeating the Indiana Pacers.

“I want to thank the Lord for Tyler Kolek,” Brunson said on TV after his game-winning 3 in Indianapolis on Thursday night, a game in which he admittedly didn’t play well. “Playing the way he’s playing, saving me.”
