On Friday afternoon following practice, Brunson shared that he was a full participant in Friday’s practice.

“I just remember somebody landing on my foot,” Brunson said on Friday afternoon while recounting the incident in the second quarter of Tuesday’s overtime win over the Los Angeles Clippers. “I found out it was Zubac. That’s a big guy landing on the side of your foot.

I thought the worst, honestly. Every day has been better. I was able to practice the entire time on Friday. I feel good.”

Brunson is currently listed as questionable for the game against the Washington Wizards on Saturday.
