Josh Hart is out of the Christmas Day game against the Cavs due to injury fears
On Thursday afternoon, The floor was taken by the New York Knicks at home for the Christmas Day game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Knicks were hoping to get back into the win column after dropping a game without Jalen Brunson earlier this week against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Unfortunately, the Knicks didn’t play very well through the opening portion of this game, trailing by double digits in the fourth quarter, and things went from bad to worse with injury sustained by one of their key players, Josh Hartearly in the final frame.
Hart eventually returned to the locker room after the injury.
Hart has been a Swiss army knife for the Knicks for several years now, turning into arguably the best rebounder at the guard position in the NBA, and providing the team with the occasional play and some three-point shooting. Hart was acquired by the Knicks midway through the 2022-23 season from the Portland Trail Blazers and has become in many ways the heart and soul of the team over the years, playing alongside his former Villanova teammates Jaylen Brunson and Mikal Bridges.
For a Knicks team that recently saw Brunson miss a game in Minnesota and also hit Karl-Anthony Towns, an injury to Hart is the last thing New York needs right now.
Anyway, after the Cavs game, the Knicks will next hit the floor on Saturday night on the road against the Atlanta Hawks.
