Whatever New York Knicks point guard endured on Sunday, his sense of humor was left perfectly in tact. Brunson stepped away from the Madison Square Garden floor during the third quarter of the weekend-closing game against the Milwaukee Bucks due to an apparent injury scare but returned in style to cap off a 44-point outing in just 29 minutes en route to a 140-106 triumph.

Brunson now boasts 17 games with at least 40 points as a Knick, tying him with Carmelo Anthony for the third most in franchise history. Patrick Ewing, who achieved the feat 30 times, and Bernard King, who did so 23 times, are the only players in Knicks history with more 40-point games.
