Jalen Brunson’s Wife Ali Marks Excited for Game 5 at Madison Square Garden
After the New York Knicks grabbed a 3-1 series lead against the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the playoffs, Jalen Brunson’s wife, Ali Marks, couldn’t contain her excitement for Game 5 at Madison Square Garden. Marks took to social media to express her joy and support for the team after Brunson’s phenomenal performance in Game 4.
Following Brunson’s impressive 47-point game, Marks shared a sweet message on social media, urging the team to “go home” alongside a heart emoji. She also reposted a post from the Knicks calling Brunson “Mr. Clutch.” The game marked Brunson’s highest-scoring playoff game and the highest ever by a Knicks player in the postseason, with 10 assists and four rebounds.
Brunson and Marks, who got married last July, first met in high school in Illinois. They celebrated Brunson’s first All-Star nod in February after he signed a four-year, $104 million deal with the Knicks in July. This marked his move from the Dallas Mavericks, where he spent the first four years of his career.
The Knicks are now gearing up for a Game 5 elimination contest against the Sixers at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET. With the support of Marks and the rest of the fans, the team is hopeful for another victory to advance in the playoffs. Stay tuned to see if Brunson can continue his stellar performance and lead the Knicks to the next round.
