NBA Opens Tampering Investigation Into Knicks’ Signing of Brunson, per Report

The Knicks made an immediate splash in free agency earlier this summer when the franchise signed former Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson to a four-year, $104 million deal.

New York was linked to Brunson in the lead-up to free agency, with many around the league anticipating that he would end up with the Knicks once free agency opened.

Sure enough, Brunson signed in New York, and now the NBA has decided to open up a tampering investigation into the Knicks and their signing of Brunson, per Chris Haynes of Yahoo. The NBA is reviewing the transaction to see whether any contact between the Knicks and Brunson was made prior to the legal tampering period at the start of free agency.
