This is a sight that could send Knicks fans into cold sweats \u2014\u00a0even in July.<\/p>\n

Jalen Brunson was spotted Saturday for the first time since his left wrist surgery, photographed paying a visit to The Other Lucy Beach Grille in Margate, New Jersey.<\/p>

Brunson\u2019s left hand and wrist were wrapped and resting in a sling almost a month after winning NBA Finals MVP with the Knicks.<\/p>\n

Brunson underwent wrist surgery Tuesday to repair a tendon issue in his left hand and wrist that he dealt with throughout the Knicks\u2019 playoff run, which resulted in their first championship since 1973. <\/p>\n

Brunson also confirmed online that he will make an appearance at Madison Square Garden for the WWE \u201cSaturday Night\u2019s Main Event\u201d this weekend after Roman Reigns extended an invite.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, Jalen, for taking the time to inspire, uplift, and show that even a small act of kindness can have a lasting impact. Robert will never forget this special moment, and neither will we,\u201d the caption read from the restaurant, which is run by the H.O.P.E. program.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations again on an incredible season and on bringing home the title! We wish you continued success both on and off the court. Thank you for inspiring the next generation and for showing what great leadership looks like. We truly appreciate your visit and hope to see you again soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brunson\u2019s recovery is estimated to be six to eight weeks, meaning he should be ready to go when the Knicks begin their title defense later this year.<\/p>\n

Brunson\u2019s discomfort didn\u2019t stop him from putting on a world-class performance during the Knicks\u2019 run to the championship. <\/p>\n

In the title-clinching Game 5 win against San Antonio, Brunson posted a Knicks\u2019 Finals record 45 points after adding 36 in the Game 4 comeback from a 29-point deficit. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

He averaged 32.6 points in the Finals overall.<\/p>\n

After the clinching Game 5, Brunson admitted he felt some pain.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hurting right now,\u201d Brunson said. \u201cI\u2019m not going to lie to you. I\u2019m hurting right now. But like I said before, the opportunity presented itself.\u201d<\/p>
