In a recent game between the New York Knicks and the Dallas Mavericks, ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins expressed his frustration with the broadcast focus on Reggie Miller's Knicks history rather than providing updates on Jalen Brunson's injury status. Perkins, known for his unwavering support for the Knicks, took to Twitter to question why the entire game seemed to revolve around Miller instead of shedding light on Brunson's potential return.

TNT had added Reggie Miller, a former NBA player renowned for his intense rivalry with the Knicks during his playing days, to their broadcast team for the game at Madison Square Garden. The regular broadcasting duo of Brian Anderson and Stan Van Gundy embraced Miller's history and incorporated it into their commentary to enhance the excitement of the matchup. However, the delicate situation arose due to Brunson's injury, making it crucial to provide updates on his condition.

Brunson's potential return was a major storyline, as it would have significant implications for Game 2 and the remainder of the series. However, the broadcast crew faced challenges in providing updates, as the game was still ongoing and a lack of injury information until late in the second quarter hindered their ability to delve into the injury without speculating.

Perkins and FS1's Nick Wright echoed the sentiment that the broadcast should have focused more on Brunson's injury rather than highlighting Miller's past accomplishments. Wright suggested that the details of how, where, and when Brunson sustained his foot injury should have been the primary focus of the broadcast.

The Knicks currently hold a 2-0 lead in the series as it moves to Indianapolis for Game 3. As the teams face off in the next game, it will be interesting to see if the broadcast team adjusts their approach and provides more comprehensive coverage of the players' current situations rather than dwelling on past rivalries.
