Knicks' Josh Hart Struggles with Shooting Rhythm Amid Role Change

Hart, previously a key performer, cites lack of inclusion in team's offense as a contributing factor to his current performance slump.

New York Knicks guard Josh Hart is struggling with his shooting rhythm this season, scoring just 7.1 points per game on 42.2 percent shooting, a significant dip from his previous seasons.
Hart attributes his struggles to a role change this year, stating that he doesn't feel included in the team's offense and is not getting the ball as often as he did last season.
Hart's role has shifted to playing more backup power forward, a position that hasn't enthused him, especially when he has to defend opponents with significant size advantages.
Some of Hart's possessions have gone to Donte DiVincenzo, the newcomer who slots in at guard while Hart slides down a position.
Hart was sensational in the 2022-23 season, scoring 10.2 points per game on 58.6 percent shooting, and the Knicks are hopeful that he can regain his rhythm as the season progresses.
