Now here’s a story you probably didn’t expect to read today.
Time’s up: It was New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson. The incident took place during Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals in 2025, while the Knicks were facing off against the Indiana Pacers. Martha was sitting courtside, and Jalen “came crashing down” on her foot.
“I have the Brunson fracture,” Martha said. “He stepped on my big toe on this foot.”
Martha said that she “immediately” knew her toe was broken, but couldn’t address it properly right away since the game had gone into overtime. Martha also revealed that she later had the privilege of disclosing the incident — with Jalen’s parents.
“I told his parents,” she said. “I met his parents…And they were laughing. They thought it was so funny. All I got out of it was a signed basketball for my grandchild.”
