Knicks guard Jalen Brunson won’t be rooting for the New York Giants on Saturday night.
Brunson was seen wearing a jersey of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts before the Knicks’ ugly 116-105 loss to the Wizards on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.
The 26-year-old Brunson, a New Brunswick native, is a big Eagles fan from growing up in southern New Jersey.
Brunson has other Philly ties when he was a key member of Villanova’s 2018 national championship team.
