Jalen Brunson’s biggest supporter savored every moment of his Knicks debut on Tuesday.
Ali Marks, who announced her engagement to the 26-year-old point guard last month, documented her night out at Madison Square Garden, where she watched Brunson dominate in a Knicks uniform in the team’s 117-96 preseason win over the Pistons.
“Same but different,” Marks shared of her new surroundings at The Garden.

Ali Marks also shared another photo from Jalen Brunson's Knicks debut on Oct. 4, 2022. Brunson, who signed a four-year, $104 million deal in free agency, recorded 16 points on Tuesday, along with five assists.
“It was good. Happy we started off the preseason right with a win, taking a step in the right direction, but still a lot of things we can improve on. I’d rather learn from a win than learn from a loss, so just continue to get better,” Brunson said postgame.
The Knicks will host the Pacers on Friday before traveling to Indiana next week for a game on Wednesday. The Knicks open the season on Oct. 19 against the Grizzlies in Memphis.

“It’s gonna be a good season,” Marks remarked in a separate Instagram story that featured Brunson’s jersey.
High-school sweethearts, Brunson and Marks capped off an eventful offseason in September, when the NBA star popped the question in what appeared to be the gymnasium of Stevenson High School, his former high school in Illinois.
