On Tuesday evening, the New York Knicks will host the Philadelphia 76ers for Game 5 of their first-round playoff series.

For the game, All-Star point guard Jalen Brunson is on the injury report, but he is listed as probable, so he should be available to play.

Via SNY's Ian Begley on Monday: "Knicks are listing Mitchell Robinson (left ankle) as questionable, Jalen Brunson as probable (right knee contusion) and Bojan Bogdanovic (foot contusion) as out for Game 5, per NBA injury report."
