People Around the League Expect the Knicks to Receive a Tampering Penalty Over Jalen Brunson, Mavs Were ‘Frustrated’

The Knicks could potentially face punishment from the NBA for tampering after they signed former Mavericks point guard Jalen Brunson.

The Athletic is reporting people around the league “expect the Knicks to get dinged for tampering” after signing the 25-year-old Brunson to a four-year, $104 million contract.

“Knicks are expected to be penalized for tampering regarding their agreement with Jalen Brunson, per Fred Katz.

Mavericks were ‘frustrated’ because reports of a finished contract between Brunson and Knicks came out before sides were allowed to speak to each other”

Multiple reports surfaced days before the start time for NBA free agency indicating Brunson intended to sign with the Knicks. That left the Mavericks “quite frustrated,” according to The Athletic.
