Josh Hart ‘definitely getting close’ to making long-awaited return to Knicks lineup
NY Post
PHOENIX — Josh Hart, who has missed eight straight games with a sprained ankle, has progressed to taking contact in practice and is “definitely getting close” to returning, according to Mike Brown.
That update means Hart could play again as early as Sunday in Portland, and the Knicks need him. They’re 3-5 without Hart, including Friday’s 112-107 defeat to the Suns.
He watched the loss from the team bench.
Hart’s absence has created a playmaking hole, putting more onus on Jalen Brunson to handle the ball and absorb physical and pressing defenses.
Tyler Kolek, Mikal Bridges and Miles McBride struggled in that role Friday.
“Obviously, we’re trying to give some young guys an opportunity and some guys that aren’t in that situation an opportunity,” coach Mike Brown said. “And they’ve just got to do the best they can.”
