Josh Hart's Return to Knicks Starting Lineup Fuels Four-Game Surge

Coach Mike Brown says limiting Hart early was a mistake.

Overview

  • Hart is averaging about 17 points, 11.8 rebounds and 7 assists in roughly 36 minutes across his first four starts of the season.
  • In Sunday’s 116-94 win over Toronto, he posted 20 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 35 minutes.
  • Brown said Hart’s light preseason left him behind in figuring out the fit before injuries to OG Anunoby and Landry Shamet prompted a rotation change.
  • The Knicks are 13-6 after the streak and second in the East, with Anunoby progressing in rehab and a possible return later this month that could reshuffle roles.
  • Police reports cited by local media say roughly $185,000 in Hart’s jewelry was reported stolen from a Manhattan hotel in September.
