Knicks' Josh Hart Sidelined with Knee Injury
20 Mar
Summary
- Josh Hart ruled out for Knicks vs. Nets game.
- Hart has right knee patellofemoral syndrome.
- Jalen Brunson will return to the lineup.
Josh Hart has been declared out for the New York Knicks' matchup against the Brooklyn Nets on March 20 due to right knee patellofemoral syndrome. The 31-year-old swingman had previously missed games with left knee soreness. This absence will be his 15th of the season.
Despite Hart's unavailability, Jalen Brunson is expected to rejoin the Knicks' lineup for the game. In his last outing, Hart delivered a career-best 33 points against the Indiana Pacers, shooting an exceptional 12-of-13 from the field, including 5-of-5 from three-point range. This performance marked one of the most efficient scoring games in franchise history.
The Knicks, currently third in the Eastern Conference with a 45-25 record, are focused on securing playoff seeding and prioritizing player health as the regular season winds down. With 12 games remaining, the team faces a favorable stretch against lower-ranked opponents, providing an opportunity for players to recover and prepare for the postseason push.
