Luka Doncic Fired Up After Ex-Teammate Jalen Brunson Wreaks Havoc on Career Night

The New York Knicks went off against the Phoenix Suns. The Suns had all three All-Stars on the floor. Yet, the Knicks could rally behind Jalen Brunson and his career night, defeating the overpowering Knicks team.

Brunson had former Warriors GM Bob Myers questioning himself too. But that wasn’t all, as former teammate Luka Doncic could not help but give Brunson his flowers after an amazing night.

The New York Knicks finished the game with a final score of 139-122. The Suns ended up losing Bradley Beal in the first quarter due to an ankle injury, leading the Knicks to make the most of their situation.

Jalen Brunson was on fire during this matchup. He scored a career-high 50 points along with 9 assists and 6 rebounds. Brunson also had 5 steals for the game, putting in the work on both the offensive and defensive end of the floor. Having played alongside Luka Doncic while he was in Dallas, his former teammate decided to give him a shout-out. Doncic went on his official Instagram account and uploaded a post of Brunson’s historic night.

He also added the caption with Brunson’s Instagram username along with three fire emojis. Depicting the night he had, the fire emojis sure make sense as Brunson was literally on fire throughout the game.

He shot an unbelievable 100% from beyond the arc, attempting nine three-pointers and making all of them. He also shot a high 73.9% field goal percentage, going 17-23 from different places on the floor. Brunson has been making a serious case for being selected in the All-Star game. And by the looks of it, that may finally come true. 

Is Brunson making a strong case for being an All-Star?

The New York Knicks may finally have a star on their hands who could be an actual threat alongside Julius Randle. Randle has been the team’s sole All-Star so far. So, having Brunson make the All-Star game may bring more limelight to MSG.
