Knicks Star Jalen Brunson to Guest on 'Law & Order: SVU' Episode

NEW YORK -- Knicks star Jalen Brunson will make a guest-starring appearance on "Law & Order: SVU" this fall.

NBC announced Thursday that Brunson will appear in the season's fifth episode, which is scheduled to air Nov. 5. Details on Brunson's role weren't revealed. Cameras caught Brunson on the show's set in Brooklyn on Wednesday.

Brunson is already set to host the season premiere of "Saturday Night Live" on Sept. 26. He made an appearance Monday in the opening of the Emmy Awards telecast that was hosted by "Law & Order: SVU" star Mariska Hargitay.

Hargitay is a Knicks fan who attended Game 4 of the NBA Finals as New York rallied from a 29-point deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 at Madison Square Garden, a victory that sparked the Knicks to their first title since 1973. Hargitay and Brunson hugged on the court after the game.

The two stars share a mutual friendship, posing at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival together. Brunson supported Hargitay during her Broadway performance in "Every Brilliant Thing" in June. Hargitay also appeared on Brunson's bus, alongside his father and wife, during the Knicks' championship parade.
