Jalen Brunson avoided the worst.

The Knicks ’ star point guard was diagnosed with a Grade 1 right ankle sprain, a league source told the Daily News.

Brunson was officially ruled out for Friday night’s game against Miami Heat at Madison Square Garden. He will be evaluated on a daily basis moving forward, the source said.

Grade 1 is the lowest level of severity.

Brunson’s right ankle rolled awkwardly as he drove to the basket with 1:54 remaining in Wednesday night’s 124-107 loss to the Orlando Magic.

Orlando’s Wendell Carter Jr. was called for a foul on the play, and Brunson remained in the game to shoot both free throws.

But Brunson committed a foul — his sixth — two seconds later, then went straight to the locker room, appearing to walk with a slight limp.
