Jalen Brunson New York Knicks 2024 NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference Round 1 Game Worn Association Edition Jersey | Game 1

This home ‘Association Edition’ jersey was worn by Jalen Brunson on April 20, 2024 during Game 1 of the First Round of the NBA Playoffs, when the New York Knicks played the Philadelphia 76ers. 

Brunson finished with 22 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1 steal. The Knicks beat the 76ers, 111-104. 

Jalen Brunson entered the 2018 NBA Draft, where he was selected with the 3rd pick in the 2nd round, as perhaps the most decorated player in the class. Having just led Villanova to the 2018 NCAA National Championship (and winning another in 2016), Brunson also won the Bob Cousy award and was named Consensus National Player of the Year, NCAA East Region Most Outstanding Player, BIG EAST Player of the Year, BIG EAST Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and to the NCAA Final Four All-tournament Team. 

Brunson joined fellow rookie Luka Dončić on the Dallas Mavericks and quickly demonstrated his scoring abilities, becoming a key piece of the Mavericks’ rotation. His breakout performance was in game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals in 2022, where without Dončić, Brunson led the Mavericks past Jazz with 41 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals to tie the series. After Dončić’s return, the tandem led the Mavericks to the Western Conference Finals, the team’s best finish since 2011.

In the summer of 2022, Brunson joined the New York Knicks and flourished as the starting point guard, putting up career-best averages in points and assists while leading the Knicks to their first playoff series win in a decade.
