    Jalen Brunson’s exciting offseason just got even more epic.

    On Monday, the newly anointed Knicks captain and wife Ali Brunson announced the birth of their first child, who arrived on July 31.

    In the black-and-white snap shared on Instagram, a baby can be seen holding what appears to be Brunson’s finger, with the NBA All-Star writing, “7/31/24 – Jordyn James Brunson,” along with pink heart emojis.

    The news of the Brunson family’s newest addition comes about a month after the star point guard signed a four-year, $156.5 million contract extension with the Knicks, leaving $113 million on the table.

    Brunson arrived in New York in July 2022 after spending the first four years of his NBA career with the Mavericks.
