[Injury] Jalen Brunson immediately calls for assistance after rolling ankle
I don’t get how anyone can construe this as dirty lol, this is just unlucky. Kornet literally has his back turned. Refs never call landing zone stuff in the paint.
because there’s nothing to call, that’s not a foul
As a neutral party who is rooting for the spurs, it most definitely was a push after the shot while he was in the air. 100% a foul
he’s mad about vassel pushing him
That’s valid. I think most are assuming the maliciousness stems from the ankle part but it’s definitely a midair foul on the shot.
People thinking that Jalen somehow double jumped or something midair to alter his trajectory
Kornet doesn’t contest vertically either and jumps into Brunson, which is part of why Brunson has to contort and falls over. But I agree with most people that the step on the ankle is an accident
Kinda looks like Vassell pushes him but it’s a mid air collision
Bingo. That’s what he was pissed about.
Vassell’s arm fully extends on a shove mid-air and you see Brunson’s body move as a reaction to it, probably why he landed more off-balance.
Can only see it off the angle from behind.
I swear to god ppl are not watching replays lol. Like Brunson clearly rolls his ankle by himself
He got pushed. What are you watching?
Brunson falling over trying to affect the whistle rolling his own ankle, clearly. FAFO?
This is not a landing zone foul lol Brunson moves like 10 ft while attempting the shot. Do they want people to empty out the paint whenever he goes up for a shot?
It’s not a landing zone foul, looks like Vassell pushes Brunson mid-air and it caused him to land more off balance.
Slow-mo angle from behind is pretty clear as day.
That could be a foul, I’m only speaking about the Kornet thing. Knicks should’ve challenged that.
Live ball can’t challenge
Foul shouldn’t be on Kornet, it should be Vassell. Watch the reply to see the shove in mid air after the release. Not dirty but still a foul and a pretty dangerous one
I doubt anybody would call it dirty outside of the game thread full of salty fans lol
Brunson’s foot slides underneath Kornet’s as he lands. It can’t possibly get more accidental than this
Kornet has that white guy excellent vision like Luka and Nash, so he definitely saw him behind him!
Because landing zone fouls are by rule only outside of the lower defensive box
Yeah not a foul on kornet. Vassell pushes him a little but probably not a foul
Kornet’s body got ptsd from last year and instinctively reached out to step on Brunson in an attempt to not relive the horrors.
Yeah just straight up unlucky
Vassell pushed him with the left hand
The Knicks market is huge, the Knicks have committed a lot of fouls so far it’s on them at the end of the day
He’s just a competitor who’s in pain and angry in the moment.
I have had this exact thing play out for me, but I tore ligaments in my left ankle. I was cussing the ref out because the defender that got underneath me and caused the injury was playing super physical on me.
It wasn’t a foul per se, but I was fucking angry and I let the ref have it. In my situation I couldn’t walk for 3 months and was out 7 months. I hope JB is good here.
Kornet had no idea where Jalen was landing. Unlike Draymond Green.
And it wasn’t a foul. Not sure what Brunson was screaming about.
Brunson’s going to need bionic legs by game three at this rate.
Jalen Maulsen
scott not T’ing him there shows hes very capable of being mature
Veteran refs have so much experience with dealing with emotions
I thought that’s what the whistle was for at first lol
It’s only game 1. Nothing to extend yet
true
I know I could never be a ref when I see stuff like that, no shot I’m taking all that yelling and not handing out 20 Ts a game
You soft
100%
[removed]
don’t use the TNT
You want him to go slowly, you sick bastard.
What kind of mods you using?
don’t do it !
HAS THIS MAN SCORNED A WITCH?!?
Spurs got the Etsy Brujas
Temu got that special Brujas for the Alien
Y’all should try and get a refund
Bro that’s what I was thinking about, did some shaman from catemaco curse him or something?
Bro, I’m so sorry for y’all, but it’s just hilariously absurd to see your comments on Jalen Brunson’s injury posts twice in just 30 minutes. Hope he’s all ok tho I wanna see a game 7 finals
Actually, NYK scorned Danhausen. They haven’t given him seats next to Timothy and Kylie.
The Spurs nuns are evil vengeful sorcerers
Dear fucking lord that looks bad. Hope it’s not as bad as it looks.
Am i missing something? Doesnt look that bad to me. Obviously hurt like hell in the moment, but i think he’ll be fine.
Kornet accidentally steps on his ankle too.
Yeah i see that, which hurts, but isnt gonna cause an injury
I feel like a 300 pound guy landing on your ankle could absolutely cause an injury.
It is really, honestly, not that bad. He didn’t get stomped on or anything, and it wasn’t full bodyweight being put on it.
Right, He also weighs 250 not 300
He weighs 250, absolutely could cause an injury, but the way he landed on it, it didn’t look that bad
A body fell onto his knee while it was planted and moved it medially. That ends athletic careers oftentimes, mostly football. I would imagine he will be playing with soreness, inflammation, and pain management the rest of the series, and we just hope he doesn’t lose range of motion or function in the meantime. He’ll likely have some healing and reconditioning to do over the off-season.
He’s literally fine
Literally
That’s at worse a minor tear, probably not if the Knicks trainer did their job properly taping his ankles.
What are you guys seeing in this video? His ankle gets stepped on and everyone is acting like his bones just shattered. He didnt even roll his ankle.
The ankle mightve been prone to some compensatory stress following his knee injury, so getting stepped on there could’ve been even more painful than without the knee episode. Probably also combined with a yo WTF man moment.
Brunson wanted a foul on Vassell for the shove at the end.
Bro what is Brunson mad at
No call on Vassell shoving him after the release causing him to land awkwardly
vassell pushing him?
From the other angle he was clearly pushed
Kornet stepped on him, clearly unintentionally, but he wanted a foul called
He’s complaining because Vassell pushed him in the air. You can see it here, but better from the other angle.
Kornet went straight up though. Isn’t it his space to land?
If anything it’s more dangerous for Kornet lol. And he didn’t even step on his foot
He was upset at Scott Foster for not calling a foul
I think he called a timeout and was ignored
Brunson being more pissed at the refs than in pain is basically the only positive I can take from this
Spurs were getting all the whistles and no-calls in their favor during the first half, I would’ve been pissed too.
Let’s hope he’s not out for game 2 or even worse the rest of the finals
I’m actually gunna end it all. I just called out of work. I can’t do this
Dude it’s a basketball game it’s all good
FMLA THAT BITCH. I DID LAST YEAR YOU KNOW WHY
Lmao I def called a mental health day after game 7 last year
It’ll be alright, it’s only game 1
Bro is getting clobbered every drive
lol he wasn’t even touched. he fell
Watch again, Vassell gives him a pretty decent shove in mid air after he lets the ball go, which is what caused him to land awkwardly. That’s why he’s upset
He was pushed to the ground
who pushed him? the wind?
Vassel with the off hand. You can’t see it it on this angle
2nd angle in this clip shows it clearly. Absolutely should have been a foul
Not too much contact on that one until he was on the ground
There was no foul here, there was a foul earlier though he had his jersey grabbed that was too obvious to miss
Not anymore than anyone else? Even this play, there’s not really a foul here? And Kornet just goes up to contest?
The spurs and thunder were basically elbowing each other every drive, this seems like nothing
Please say sike lmao.
He wasn’t clobbered on that
He was “clobbered” here? Fix your TV bud
welcome to the west lol
That’s not even a foul man
Are people blind? Somebody quoted archimedes to me last week because of some foul call, and now they’re saying Vassells full arm extension on Brunsons hip while he’s airborne isn’t really a foul. 🤮
it’s over
Hey spur fans, you ready to become the Thunder for this series? The Knicks fans are already brewing
Just a matter of time :)
The spurs are just the thunder but a year later
Spurs aren’t playing unethical like OKC though, just unlucky for Brunson
What do you call the act that Wemby pulled on Robinson in the corner after he picked his dribble up and got stuck?
The exact thing that people complain about Shai doing.
Every star gets calls like that. Wemby doesn’t get that whistle anywhere near the rate of SGA. Just stop.
Vassel pushed him mid air lmao
It’s a foul that the refs missed bro, that’s not dirty it’s just a bad call
You cant just push people in the air and call it just a foul. Its dirty af
Literally no play on the ball
That happens every night. It’s a foul. If that’s dirty then the entire league is dirty.
People saying this is not a foul, please look at Devin’s arm pushing off Brunson, causing him to be off-balanced and fall, thus rolling his ankle 😞
if a slight touch puts you so off balance that it sends you to the ground then you were going to the ground anyway.
slight touch when you’re in the air??
All the okc ref corruption people where you at this game lol
Because he jumps sideways to make his shot and slides under a player who was already there? What do you want them to do? Empty out the lane to help him make a bucket?
Both Spurs went straight up and then he puts his foot under Kornet landing zone. Idk why Brunson wanted that call so bad
Andddd he’s fine
How is that not a tech on him
I can provide some context. Notably, it’s the finals dog, emotions are high.
Brunson getting a new injury every quarter.
Ouch
Man, not how i want this series to go. Hope he’s okay
Wtf is happening
I don’t understand he looks like he slid into kornets step
Was it injured on Brunson’s landing or Kornet landing on it? It didn’t look like Kornet put much weight on it, but I could be wrong
Combination of both perhaps, and not to mention his ankle might very already been prone to compensatory stress from his knee. Just wasn’t a kind night for his body.
Iverson would never
Maybe if he goes up and attempts a normal landing he doesn’t get hurt here. Yes brunson got a little push in the back, but he goes limp fish to draw the foul and doesn’t land safely.
Brunson may break every bone in his body by the end of this series
End of the half*
Basketball gods do not deprive us of this finals. Please do not be a serious injury
I despise injuries
The Whistle this game has been insane for the Spurs already
Ahh fuck
when you throw yourself on the floor regularly, stuff like that is bound to happen
look at vassell’s left hand. pushed brunson mid air
Why did he go back in?? He was still limping. Don’t hurt yourself more man! 🤦♂️
God damn it Kornet
Didn’t look like a foul in real time but I see the push now
so, mentally, how knicks fans feelin?
Good, Knicks own the second half
i hope bro’s okay i want this finals to be fun man
rolled then stepped on, not ideal
I’d hate to be a wall in NY tonight
Really hard to see if this is a foul from this angle. So far the reffing seems pretty fair, besides the classic anti-KAT bias lol
Man acting like his foot was cut off lol what a faker.
Why he kick out that leg while shooting anyway
Jesus christ another one, is this divine intervention or something.
He being soft
Then scores 6 straight points
Is out longer on this one?
Did Stephen A. piss off Danhausen again?
Not intentional but should be a foul
The Spurs way. Never fails.
If the ref doesn’t see the hand on the back, I don’t know how that can be called bc that’s nothing on Luke.
Inversion sprain. Those are awful
He not getting NO CALLS
Yep Vassel push him there. Unfortunately it was an awkward landing.
San Antonio shaman at work
Man forget Devin Vassell. Dude is just a playground chump.
Get your asterisks out
All that rest after the ECF and this shit happens.
As a pacers fan I still hate to see this. Jalen is amazing but I hate to play him. Hope he’s ok
Kornet almost rolled his shit too. Not on purpose
Oh nah, get him outta there bro, fuck game 1. Dude might be out for the series if he keeps getting banged up like this. They gotta re evaluate Brunson strats bro.
Not even a foul at all and Kornet didn’t even step on his ankle. Both ankles slid over each other. Brunson crying for nothing…
This is why I’ve been telling anyone that will listen that’s why Shai falls so much. Driving into a crowd and landing is dangerous man
Explain why Shai falls down even without anyone around then? Stop it. Your flopper got exposed.
Faker. Mild issues.
I love Brunson. One of my favorites truly. But if this happened to SGA I’d say he deserves it for always being on the floor. The floor is not a good place to make a play. Stop selling calls and play real basketball
That’s what he gets for flopping
Vassell shoved him in midair and then he rolled his ankle and then Kornet stomped on him…
Totally fake He’s mad at the refs for not coddling him Like they did on reg season And he’s missing shots Gotta blame it on someone
It’s a foul at least at worst a f1
You mean crying for an imaginary foul
