CJ McCollum on Jalen Brunson staying down after kick: He thought we were at a Broadway show

โ€ขYahoo Sports

During the second quarter of the Knicksโ€™ 113-102 Game 1 win over the Hawks on Saturday night, McCollum was given a technical for kicking Brunson right in the midsection while taking a jump shot (he was also called for a travel on the play). Brunson stayed down on the ground in pain for a few moments. McCollum accused Brunson of milking it.

โ€œI shot a jumper, and Jalen thought we were at a Broadway show,โ€ McCollum said. โ€œHe acted it out until they reviewed it. Itโ€™s a normal jump shot.

Nothing there. Unnecessary, and I look forward to getting my $2,500 [fine] back. โ€ New York Post This article originally appeared on Hoops Hype: CJ McCollum on Jalen Brunson staying down after kick: He thought we were at a Broadway show
