Jalen Brunson has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Western Conference's top seed with a calf injury. Leading up to the game, Brunson was considered questionable with the same injury that cost him to miss the team's first game of 2025 earlier in the week.

Brunson (calf) has been listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Bulls. Brunson has been dealing with a calf injury lately, but it hasn't resulted in him missing more than one game so far. It appears it won't prevent him from playing against Chicago on Saturday.
