Going Deeper - Jalen Brunson

Jalen Brunson enters the 2025–26 season fresh off back-to-back All-NBA Second Team selections. Teaming up with former Villanova teammates Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart, plus All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns, Brunson has been the driving force for the Knicks, leading the team in scoring and earning his first career All-Star Game start last season. In the 2024–25 Playoffs, he guided New York to its first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 25 years, highlighted by a stunning upset of the defending champion Boston Celtics in the semifinals.

Brunson was selected 33rd overall in the 2018 NBA Draft after a decorated college career at Villanova, where he won two national championships (2016, 2018) and earned honors including Consensus National Player of the Year, the Bob Cousy Award, and BIG EAST Player of the Year.

Joining Luka Dončić as a rookie on the Dallas Mavericks, Brunson quickly carved out a role with his scoring and poise. His breakout came in Game 2 of the 2022 Western Conference First Round, when he dropped 41 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals to lead Dallas past Utah without Dončić. That postseason run culminated in a trip to the Western Conference Finals, the team’s best finish since 2011.

In the summer of 2022, Brunson signed with the New York Knicks and immediately elevated the franchise as its floor general. He delivered career-best numbers in points and assists, sparked the Knicks’ first playoff series win in a decade, and has since lifted New York into contender status. Over his three seasons in New York, the Knicks have increased their win total each year under his leadership.

At the time of cataloging, Brunson holds career averages of 18.1 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 5 assists per game. He is a two-time NBA All-Star, a two-time All-NBA Second Team selection, and the 2024–25 NBA Clutch Player of the Year.

Abu Dhabi Games

The 2025 NBA Abu Dhabi Games kick off a series of preseason NBA Global Games, with teams traveling to Canada and Macau in addition to Abu Dhabi. This season marks the fourth consecutive year the league has visited Abu Dhabi, where basketball continues to deepen its impact and strong relationship with the region. Recently, Team USA played two exhibition games in the UAE before going on to win a fifth straight Olympic gold medal in Paris. In 2023, Team USA also held an exhibition in Abu Dhabi ahead of the FIBA World Cup. 

Interest in the NBA abroad has never been higher. The league’s increased focus on basketball’s global development has paid dividends—the last seven NBA MVP awards have been won by international players. With many of the league’s new stars hailing from outside the United States, the NBA has steadily expanded its global presence, staging more games overseas each year. Upcoming stops include Mexico City in November 2025, followed by London and Berlin in January 2026.
