Knicks’ Josh Hart OK after hard fall: ‘think he’ll be all right’
NY Post
The Knicks already were without injured center Karl-Anthony Towns — the No. 2 rebounder in the NBA — when the No. 2 rebounder on their team headed for the locker room clutching his left shoulder in the third quarter of Friday’s home loss to the Timberwolves.
Josh Hart quickly reemerged from the tunnel and reported immediately to the scorer’s table, however, after missing less than three minutes of game action.
Hart, who crashed to the floor in pain after getting shoved by Minnesota’s Jaden McDaniels into Knicks teammate Jericho Sims, ended up playing 38 minutes and finished with 12 points and nine rebounds.
Tom Thibodeau offered no immediate update on Hart afterward, saying he hadn’t been briefed by the medical staff, but teammate Jalen Brunson said he believed Hart was OK.
“I think he’ll be all right,” Brunson said after the game. “[I’m] not too worried about him and his toughness. We’ll all be back and be ready to go [Monday against the Hawks].”
Hart did not address the media after the game for one of the rare times this season.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
