New York Knicks stars took the high road in dealing with Josh Hart after the Washington Commanders' loss in the NFC Championship Game.
Hart understands how All-Star selections work. He knows his chances of being named an All-Star reserve are slim. The Knicks already have two All-Star starters — their first since Earl Monroe and Walt Frazier in 1975 — and the competition for reserve spots is fierce.
Josh Hart appears to be OK after hurting his shoulder after taking a hard fall during the Knicks’ loss to the Timberwolves on Friday night.
The odds are not super high for New York Knicks forward Josh Hart to make the All-Star team, but there is a logical argument for him to be in there. He is having a career season with New York, averaging 14.1 points, 9.8 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game.
The Knicks already have two All-Stars in Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, but Josh Hart could join them thanks to his unique case
The status of two key players is in question as the Sacramento Kings prepare to visit the New York Knicks on Saturday at Madison Square Garden. The Kings are listing point guard De’Aaron Fox as questionable due to a right thumb sprain. Knicks shooting guard Josh Hart is questionable because of right knee soreness.
Josh Hart recorded his sixth triple-double of the season with 20 points, 18 rebounds and 11 assists. OG Anunoby scored 33 points, Mikal Bridges 27, Jalen Brunson 25 and Karl-Anthony Towns 18.
After destroying the Memphis Grizzlies 143-106 on Monday, the New York Knicks host another Western Conference playoff contender on Wednesday. However, unlike the Grizzlies, their Wednesday night opponent has a championship pedigree and a healthy roster. The Knicks vs. Denver Nuggets injury report reveals a healthy road team.
Scoring has been climbing as of late, but this year the stat inflation has revealed itself in a more subtle way.
New York has won four straight games, the most recent of which was an impressive 143-106 win over Memphis. The Grizzlies are the third-best team in the West, 2.5 games ahead of the Nuggets in the standings. The Knicks passed Monday's test with flying colors, but Wednesday's exam should be more challenging because of one player named Nikola Jokic.
