Knicks Say Josh Hart Is Out Thursday
3 months agoNew York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau says forward Josh Hart (knee) is out and will miss his first game of the season on Thursday versus the Washington Wizards. Hart is day-to-day with left knee patellar tendinopathy, with Thursday's outing being the second leg of New York's back-to-back set. The 28-year-old swingman targets a return for Saturday's Atlantic Division clash with the Toronto Raptors. Hart corralled 14 rebounds in Wednesday's win over the Houston Rockets and has a defined sixth-man role in the Knicks' rotation despite sitting outside the top 150 in category fantasy leagues. Donte DiVincenzo should have a longer leash in Thibodeau's starting five on Thursday, while Quentin Grimes and Miles McBride will have a chance at expanded roles from the second unit.
