Brunson is set to undergo surgery on his right wrist/forearm area Tuesday and is expected to require at least two months of rehab, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.
Brunson reportedly played through discomfort in this area during the Knicks' Finals run, and he'll undergo surgery before training camp begins in the fall. The superstar point guard is coming off an impressive postseason that culminated in a championship and Finals MVP honors. Over five Finals appearances against the Spurs, he averaged 32.6 points, 4.6 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 39.0 minutes per showing.

How it's counted
Each situation shows this player's numbers in those games, with the difference from their full-season line in parentheses. The definition sits under each situation name. Situations overlap: one game can count in several.
True shooting is one shooting number that folds in threes and free throws; its differences are in points of TS%. Every final box score counts — there is no minutes cutoff. Fewer than 5 games reads as a small sample. These splits describe what happened. They do not prove the schedule caused it.
