Overview
- Stewart said the injury occurred in the final minutes of a Knicks–Pacers playoff game at Madison Square Garden that went to overtime, keeping her in her seat.
- According to her account, Brunson crashed into her, landed on her lap and stepped on her big toe, which she believed was broken immediately.
- She jokingly labeled the injury the “Brunson fracture” and said she now wears open-toe shoes because other footwear is uncomfortable.
- On the show, she warned fans against open-toe footwear when sitting courtside due to the risk of on-court collisions.
- She said she later told Brunson’s parents, including Knicks assistant coach Rick Brunson, received a signed basketball for her grandchild, and no independent confirmation or response has been reported.
