Knicks' Josh Hart: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
Hart is out for Sunday's game against the Hornets due to right ankle injury management.
OG Anunoby (ankle), Jalen Brunson (ankle) and Karl-Anthony Towns (elbow) will be joining Hart on the sidelines, so Mikal Bridges will be the only regular starter available for Sunday's game. Landry Shamet and Jordan Clarkson could get some time to shine with so many key players out for New York.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Game-high 26 points in win
Rotowire
Hart finished Thursday's 112-106 win over the Celtics with 26 points (10-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists, one rebound and one steal across 35 minutes.
Following a three-game stretch in which he averaged 4.7 points per game, Hart was far more aggressive hunting his shot in this one. The veteran wing dropped a game-high 26 points on efficient shooting, reaching the 20-point threshold for the eighth time this season. The Villanova product also had an impressive night from beyond the arc, knocking down a season-high-tying five three-pointers while leading the Knicks in that category.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Drains five threes Sunday
Rotowire
Hart chipped in 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 111-100 loss to the Thunder.
Hart did most of his damage from the three-point line, and he continues to be an absolute menace from beyond the arc. The veteran forward has drained multiple threes in four of his last five games, a stretch in which he's gone 15-for-19 from deep. Those are unsustainable numbers, but as long as Hart continues to drain threes, that should give the Knicks another dimension offensively.

Knicks' Josh Hart: Enjoys big night vs. Pacers
Rotowire
Hart produced 33 points (12-13 FG, 5-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 136-110 victory over Indiana.
Hart posted his first 30-point performance of the 2025-26 campaign, and he needed only 26 minutes to do so with the help of an incredible shooting performance. The 31-year-old oozed confidence on the offensive end, where he went a perfect 5-for-5 from deep and missed only one shot from the field. Hart provided more than enough firepower in the absence of Jalen Brunson, who was held out Tuesday due to right ankle injury management and a cervical strain.
