As the New York Knicks prepare for the return of Jalen Brunson against the Phoenix Suns, Delon Wright reflects on his unexpected role as the starting point guard. After initially being sidelined, Wright stepped up when injuries plagued the team and has averaged nearly 10 points and 3.5 assists in his last five starts. His focus has been on defense, often sacrificing his offensive game to contribute effectively on that end.

Wright's professionalism and adaptability have drawn praise from teammates like Karl-Anthony Towns, who commended him for his readiness to seize the moment. Although Wright acknowledges that his minutes may dwindle with Brunson's return, he remains confident in his ability to contribute to the team's success consistently.
