Jalen Brunson won’t play for the New York Knicks against Utah on Wednesday night because of right calf tightness. The Knicks ruled out their All-Star point guard about 40 minutes before the game, when they were looking for a ninth straight victory.

Josh Hart posted his second straight triple-double and Karl-Anthony Towns finished with at least 30 points and 10 rebounds for the third consecutive game Wednesday night as the undermanned New York Knicks pulled away from the visiting Utah Jazz in a 119-103 victory.
