Josh Hart News, Rumors, Updates - New York Knicks

Intends to play Wednesday Hart (knee) is warming up with the intention of playing Wednesday against Houston, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hart is listed as questionable, but he appears to be trending more toward probable at the moment. Despite playing a consistent role, Hart has struggled to score on a nightly basis, averaging just 6.1 points on 37.9 percent shooting in 29.2 minutes across his last 11 appearances (one start).

Iffy against Houston Hart is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Rockets due to left patellar tendinopathy.

Impact Hart has yet to miss a game all season, but the Knicks could play it cautiously on the first leg of their back-to-back Wednesday. If Hart is ruled out, Quentin Grimes and Miles McBride could receive extended minutes.

Struggling to find role Hart finished Monday's 98-94 loss to the Magic with four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes.

Impact If there was a loser in the trade between the Knicks and Raptors that sent OG Anunoby to New York, it's been Hart. The 28-year-old forward has come off the bench in all eight games so far in January and done little, averaging 6.0 points, 7.4 boards, 2.8 assists and 0.8 threes in 27.3 minutes a contest while shooting a woeful 36.7 percent from the floor. Anunoby has a similar skill set to Hart but offers more length and defensive versatility, which doesn't leave a clear role for the latter in the rotation. Hart just signed a four-year, $81 million contract extension in August that doesn't kick in until 2024-25, but it wouldn't be a shock if he were moved when he becomes eligible to be traded in February.

Back to bench Hart won't start Monday's game against Minnesota, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact After a blockbuster trade Saturday, the Knicks had only nine players available versus the Pacers, so Hart drew a spot start. However, O.G. Anunoby is ready to make his Knicks debut Monday, so he'll slide into the starting lineup, sending Hart to the bench. As a reserve this season, Hart has averaged 6.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals in 26.8 minutes per game.

Enters starting lineup Hart is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Impact The Knicks have nine available players for Saturday, as they made a big trade for O.G. Anunoby that sent Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett to Toronto. Hart's inclusion in the starting lineup is likely to be temporary until Anunoby arrives to New York, but he's going to have to play a ton of minutes Saturday.

Impact Hart's season-high 13 rebounds helped him record his first double-double of the season Wednesday despite coming off the bench. Hart continues to be one of New York's most valuable bench option, averaging 7.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 26.6 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Impact Hart was arguing with the officials and was quickly tossed with back-to-back technicals. He came into Saturday's game with a probable tag due to some knee soreness, so the extra rest could do him some good.

Good to go Hart (knee) is good to go for Saturday versus the Clippers, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hart is dealing with some knee soreness and is not 100 percent according to coach Tom Thibodeau, but he'll give it a go anyways. It's possible that the Knicks watch his minutes a little closer than usual Saturday.

Impact Hart has yet to miss a game this season and isn't expected to do so Saturday despite dealing with a knee injury. The 28-year-old forward is averaging 7.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 28.4 minutes across his previous five appearances.

Vintage performance Monday Hart ended with 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 136-130 win over Toronto.

Impact Hart was fantastic off the bench Monday, flirting with his first triple-double of the season. After a rocky start to the season, Hart has been able to creep back into the standard league discussion over the past two weeks. If you are looking for out-of-position rebounds, with a sprinkling of assists and threes, Hart is certainly worth considering.

Improved performance Tuesday Hart ended with 17 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 115-91 victory over Charlotte.

Impact Hart had one of his better games of the season Tuesday, looking more like the player we expected to see coming into the season. He has scored double-digits only five times, averaging 7.7 points per game to go with 6.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.9 steals. While this is a taste of what he can do, managers should not overreact to one performance. Should he be able to string a few good games together, he could be worth grabbing as an out-of-position specialist.

Nears double-double in start Hart totaled 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in 43 minutes during Monday's 114-98 loss to Boston.

Impact Hart got the starting nod due to RJ Barrett (migraine) being inactive, finishing with a team-high-tying rebound total and ending one board short of a double-double. Hart tallied his highest scoring mark of the season, now scoring in double figures in two contests. Hart has also hauled in nine or more boards in three of his first 10 outings.

Hart started a pair of contests to begin the month, putting up 11 and six points while crashing the boards for a combined 18 boards over this brief stretch. He'll have a solid chance to reach 30 minutes of action in Boston.
