BOSTON — The Knicks’ recent run of good health took a hit on Sunday night.
After waking up with soreness in his left foot, Jalen Brunson is out against the Celtics, and was listed by the team as day-to-day.
It is the fifth game Brunson has missed this year.

The Knicks, winners of eight straight games, were 2-2 without him.
Coach Tom Thibodeau said he was unsure if Brunson has undergone an MRI exam, or if will need one when the team returns to New York.
He did say the star point guard would get re-evaluated on Monday.
“I don’t think it’s serious,” Thibodeau said.
Brunson turned his right ankle late in the third quarter of the team’s win over the Heat on Friday night, but returned to the game early in the fourth quarter.
The two injuries are unrelated, according to Thibodeau.
