Jalen Brunson hosts SNL premiere with Knicks cameo

Original: Host Jalen Brunson gets assist from Knicks on 'SNL' premiere

Knicks star Jalen Brunson hosted the season premiere of Saturday Night Live, and the show brought in his New York Knicks teammates for an on-stage assist during the episode. The appearance marks a high-profile off-court moment for the point guard, blending the NBA team's New York popularity with the late-night comedy institution's season opener.
