Josh Hart's Back Injury Puts Opening Night Status In Doubt
Josh Hart (back) missed Monday's practice as he continues to deal with a lingering back issue that kept him sidelined for most of the preseason. His status for Wednesday's season opener remains uncertain, and the Knicks may opt for caution given Hart's importance as a high-energy two-way contributor. If he's unable to suit up, New York will likely lean on Jordan Clarkson for added scoring on the wing, while Miles McBride and Guerschon Yabusele could also see expanded roles. Hart is coming off a strong season in which he averaged 13.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game while shooting 52.5% from the field, making him a valuable fantasy option thanks to his ability to contribute across multiple categories. Fantasy managers should monitor updates leading up to tip-off and have a backup plan ready in case Hart is ruled out.
