NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks have chosen Jalen Brunson as their captain, the team's first in six years.
Brunson quickly became one of the team's leaders after arriving in 2022 and on Tuesday was selected as the 36th captain in franchise history. The Knicks hadn't had one since Lance Thomas in the 2018-19 season.
Knicks President Leon Rose called Brunson a "natural born leader," adding in a statement that he was confident the All-Star guard would "continue to represent our organization, fans, city and his teammates with the same heart, grit and class that he has displayed each and every day since he came to New York.
