NBA on ESPN: "[Jalen Brunson's] at about 80 to 85% after the wrist surgery that he had in July. ... He'll have no restrictions when training camp begins in a couple of weeks." @VinceGoodwill provides an update on Jalen Brunson's recovery 🏀
New York Knicks star and longtime Law & Order: SVU fan Jalen Brunson will guest star on the upcoming 28th season of the venerable NBC crime drama. Brunson will appear in Season 28’s fifth episode, scheduled to air at 9 p.m. November 5. His role is being kept under wraps. The casting reunites Brunson with SVU star, Knicks superfan and recent Emmys host Mariska Hargitay. The Knicks point guard appeared in the show’s pretaped opening musical number with Hargitay, along with a slew of dancers and extras. “It’s just a lot of pressure. Have you ever felt like you had millions of eyes on you and it all comes down to one night?” Hargitay asked Brunson in the skit as she steamed her dress and he was steaming his jersey. “Seriously?” he asked. “Hey, Jalen, it’s just me. I don’t have anyone to step it in for me,” Hargitay replied, referring to the Knicks’ iconic game-winning tip-in by OG Anunoby in Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs.
Mike Vorkunov: Knicks star Jalen Brunson is starting his own company, Thirty Third Management Group, to handle his off-court business. The co. intends to handle other clients in NIL women's sports. His mother, Sandra, is president; his sister, Erica, is a director. Brunson will still stay w/ CAA for NBA deals.
As Monday’s 78th Emmys ceremony fast approaches, Variety has learned of two new highlights that viewers should expect to see: New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson is expected to appear via a pre-tape at the start of the telecast, while Reba McEntire has been tapped to perform a Dolly Parton song in tribute to the late icon.

With New York Knicks superfan Mariska Hargitay as host, there’s been plenty of speculation about how the team might make an appearance during the Emmys — especially regarding pal Brunson. Hargitay herself has hinted in interviews that she hoped the Knicks would have a presence on the Emmys. She also recently told Variety at the HBO Max Emmy Nominee Celebration that Brunson would “definitely” be getting a role in “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.”
“It’s definitely happening,” Hargitay said of an “SVU” guest spot. “He’s kind of magnificent that way. He is just open and ready. I don’t think there is much Jalen can’t do.” When asked at last Thursday’s Emmys media day about whether Brunson would show up, executive producers Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay were coy: “She’s got a lot of friends,” Collins said. “Her contacts are deep.”
Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart were in attendance at the U.S. Open on Friday as part of another star-studded crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium for Ben Shelton’s semifinal win over fellow American Frances Tiafoe. Brunson attended with his wife, Ali, and was sitting next to one of the Knicks’ most recognizable celebrity fans, Ben Stiller. Stiller’s wife, actress Christine Taylor, was also seated with her husband and the Brunsons.
Dirk Nowitzki on Jalen Brunson: "I got to say I was skeptic when he went to New York as a franchise player there in that market. He's a quiet guy, shy guy to go to that market, in that media market. I was a little worried, but man, has he been unbelievable on and off the floor and really carrying this franchise and so well-deserved to win the championship, bring the championship back there after 50-something years. Finals MVP, it's been an incredible run. I didn't see that development coming from him. I knew he was super solid already in his rookie year, he's smart, he knows how to get to his spots, but I didn't think he's going to have a franchise player type ceiling in him."
Oh No He Didn't: Jimmy Kimmel: "Is it true that Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks is going to be on (Law & Order) this season?" Mariska Hargitay: *brief pause* "It's looking like it" "Who does he kill the Spurs?" "Yup! But he already did that"

Stefan Bondy: Jalen Brunson will be the first Knick to host SNL He’s also just the fifth basketball player after Jordan, Barkley, LeBron, Bill Russell. He’s just the third NYC-area athlete after Eli Manning and Derek Jeter
Stefan Bondy: BIG NEWS: Jalen Brunson is hosting SNL on Sept. 26
In an interview for Sports Illustrated, the retired former NBA superstar revealed that he actively rooted for the Knicks to win the championship. "I kind of had them winning the entire time," Rose admitted. "My son is a Jalen [Brunson] fan. So he was cheering for them the whole playoffs. I called Rick [Brunson] right before they got to the Finals and told him that they was going to play against Wemby [Victor Wembanyama] now. And if they was going to play against them, that they was going to win."
I know we’ve already discussed this but just so we’re clear: You are not investigating the New York Knicks or Jalen Brunson, correct? Pablo Torre: They are not a target. At the moment I’m absolutely not focusing on the Knicks or Jalen Brunson.
