During her appearance on the show “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”, Martha Stewart shared how Jalen Brunson, captain of the New York Knicks, broke her toe while she was watching an NBA game.
“Do you see these open-toe shoes? Never, ever wear open-toe shoes to a game like this when you’re sitting courtside,” Stewart told the audience.

“Jalen, who is now a star, he’s great… but I have a Brunson fracture,” she joked. “He stepped on my big toe. That’s why I’m wearing open-toe shoes, because it’s the only kind of shoe I can wear right now.”
“I knew immediately that it was broken. And he sat on my lap and fell…,” she explained, noting that the player had no idea what had happened.
Stewart also revealed that she had to endure some painful moments before she could leave, as the game went into overtime and she couldn’t get up and leave to take care of her big toe.
When Fallon asked whether Brunson knew about the incident, Stewart got laughs by saying that she hadn’t spoken to him, but had talked to his parents, and they found the whole story funny.
“All I got out of it was a signed basketball for my grandson,” she said.
