On Saturday evening, the New York Knicks are playing the Sacramento Kings at Madison Square Garden. Jalen Brunson had 23 points, one rebound, eight assists and one steal while shooting 8/14 from the field and 4/5 from the three-point range in his first 30 minutes of playing time.

Jalen Brunson, who was born in New Brunswick and was snubbed as a starter last year, will start in the backcourt, while Piscataway native and former St. Joe’s-Metuchen big man Karl-Anthony Towns will start in the frontcourt. The game is set for Feb. 16 at the Chase Center in San Francisco.

Brunson and Towns represent the first pair of Knicks teammates to start in the All-Star Game since 1975, when Earl “The Pearl” Monroe and Walt “Clyde” Frazier donned the orange and blue.
