Knicks’ Josh Hart bloodied after getting hit with elbow in scary moment
NY Post
Josh Hart paid the price as he drove to the basket late in the first quarter of the Knicks’ 127-102 Game 5 blowout loss to the Celtics on Wednesday night in Boston.
The Knicks star took it to the hoop with 3:30 left in the opening frame and was hit near the left eyebrow by the elbow of the Celtics’ Luke Kornet, who was defending in the paint.
Hart immediately went down as blood fell from his face and onto his white Knicks uniform.
He was attended to on the bench, getting a bandage over his eyebrow before he went to the free-throw line and hit both attempts.
Hart was one of the few bright spots for the Knicks in what was a disastrous road loss, as he scored a team-best 24 points by going 7-for-15 from the field.
He also grabbed seven rebounds with two assists in 36 minutes despite taking the elbow.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
